In the drawer you have a total of 4 socks: the one you already have, two of a different color and one of the same color of the first sock. If the first two socks you draw are of a different color, the third one will surely be of the color of the first sock.

There are two different colors of socks, so in the worst case scenario you can draw two different socks. Therefore you need to draw one more sock of any color to have a matching pair.

2+1=3 :)

What is the square root between which two intergers explain

Softa [21]

Answer:

I’m pretty sure the square root between two Integers is when you have a non perfect square root for example the square root of 92. Since it is not perfect you have to estimate it and you use a numeric line to do it so in this case the square root of 92 would have to go in between the nearest perfect square roots from both sides which are 81 and 100. In the line you would see it as 9 and 10 and you have to estimate the value which in this case would be about 9.6
