I assume that calculators are not allowed, perhaps not even paper and pencil.

With paper and pencil, there is an algorithm to find the square-root of any number accurate to as many digits as we wish.  Please post if that is the case.

Without calculator, pen and pencil, we resort to mental arithmetic.  Someone with a little practice can memorize or calculate the square of all numbers up to 100, or as many as one can.

Here we can take advantage of exactly the property suggested by Xisca... that is, sqrt(44)=2sqrt(11), which reduces the calculation to more accuracy with a lesser knowledge of the squares of numbers.

As a first approximation, we know that 33*33=1089, or 3.3*3.3=10.89, which is already very close to 11.  

Thus a first approximation to sqrt(44)=2sqrt(11)=2*3.3=6.6 (approximately).

To refine the calculation of sqrt(11), we use Newton's approximation, namely

a better approximation is given by 3.3 + (11 - 3.3^2) / (2*3.3) = 3.3+0.11/6.6 = 3.3+1/60

which gives

sqrt(44) = 2(3.3+1/60) = 6.6+1/30 = 6.6333,

actually accurate almost to the nearest 1/10000.

All of the above can be done mentally

For those who need help with rounding to the nearest hundredth (0.01), we drop digits AFTER the 2nd decimal, namely *.**33.  If the first digit dropped is 5 or more, add one to the last digit retained, otherwise, retain only the two digits after the decimal.  In this case, the first digit dropped is 3, so it will simply be dropped.  The final answer is then 6.63, to the nearest hundredth.

A circular rug has a diameter of 3 feet. Part A What is the area in square feet, of the rug rounded to the nearest whole number?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.069 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Shape of rug = circular

Diameter of rug = 3 feets

The Area in square feet of the rug =?

Area of a circle :

πr²

r = Radius

r = diameter / 2 = 3 /2 = 1.5 feets

Area = π * 1.5^2

Area = 7.0685834

Area = 7.069 ft²

A bottle holds exactly 2/3 pint of liquid. How many 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container
kifflom [539]

Answer:

36 number of 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the container is 24 pint

Volume of the bottle is 2/3 pint

Number of 2/3 pint bottles that can be filled from 24 pint container is

\frac{24}{\frac{2}{3} } \\= 24 * \frac{3}{2} \\= 12 * 3\\= 36

36 number of 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container
