Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

√2.

Approximate between two whole numbers.

1² = 1

2² = 4

Since √2 = 1.4142

So, we would try

1.5² = 2.25

⇒ 2.25>1.4142

So, the square root of 2 i.e. √2 lies between 1.4 and 1.5 on the number line.

Answer 2

The answer is 1.4 since it is the closest to √2. And is between 1.5
