<span>  <span>first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i  wrote it for you:) Finding the square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. </span> The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers. The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself.   </span>                                                                                                                                                                          <span>Many mathematical operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring, which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents), has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 … </span> The square root of a number, n, written <span> is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. For example,</span> <span>because 10 x 10 = 100</span> Examples Here are the square roots of all the perfect squares from 1 to 100. Finding square roots of of numbers that aren't perfect squares without a calculator 1. Estimate - first, get as close as you can by finding two perfect square roots your number is between. 2. Divide - divide your number by one of those square roots.
3. Average - take the average of the result of step 2 and the root. <span>4. Use the result of step 3 to repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a number that is accurate enough for you.
</span> Example: Calculate the square root of 10 () to 2 decimal places. <span>1. Find the two perfect square numbers it lies between.
</span> <span><span>Solution:
</span><span>32 = 9 and 42 = 16, so lies between 3 and 4.</span></span> <span>2. Divide 10 by 3. 10/3 = 3.33 (you can round off your answer)</span> <span>3. Average 3.33 and 3. (3.33 + 3)/2 = 3.1667</span> <span>Repeat step 2: 10/3.1667 = 3.1579</span><span>Repeat step 3: Average 3.1579 and 3.1667. (3.1579 + 3.1667)/2 = 3.1623</span> Try the answer --> Is 3.1623 squared equal to 10? 3.1623 x 3.1623 = 10.0001 If this is accurate enough for you, you can stop! Otherwise, you can repeat steps 2 and 3. <span>Note: There are a number of ways to calculate square roots without a calculator. This is only one of them.</span>         <span><span>

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I'm stuck on this problem!!! (THE DIRECTION IS ---"Find the area of the figure")
svetlana [45]
A = 3,953 in²

You find the area of the whole triangle:
1/2bh = 1/2(63+31)(63+62) = 5875

Then subtract the missing rectangle:
lw = (62)(31) = 1922

5875 - 1922 = 3953 inches

Since you're multiplying inches by inches, it's inches².

The distance a spring will stretch varies directly with how much weight is attached to the spring. If a spring stretches 6 inche
Iteru [2.4K]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

C.4.1 in

Explanation:

We will use a proportion for this problem.

In the first ratio, we have 6 inches: 80 pounds.  This can also be written as 6/80.

For the second ratio, we do not know the length; this is x.  The weight is 55; this gives us x/55.

This makes our proportion

6/80 = x/55

Cross multiplying, we have

6(55) = 80(x)

330 = 80x

Divide both sides by 80:

330/80 = 80x/80

4.125 = x

This means the answer is 4.1.
