Help please!!! 10 points!!!
padilas [110]
<h3>17) 5ft</h3>

In order to do this problem you must use square roots. Basically the same number multiplied twice to get your answer. In this problem, 5 * 5 = 25.

<h3>18) 10m</h3>

Since they are asking for the square root to the nearest whole unit, we must know that the √105 lies in between 10 and 11, since 10 * 10 = 100 and 11 * 11 = 121. 105 is closer to 100 than it is to 121 and therefore the answer is 10.

Don't forget your labels!!! (Feet and meters)
