11. What is the next number in follwing number sequence<br><br><br>​
maria [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The square root of 36.

Explanation:

If you figure out the square roots of the numbers, you will see the pattern's sequence is simply decreasing by 1 from 10. For the first number, the square root of 100 is 10, because 10 squared or 10 x 10 is equal to 100. After 9, we have the square root of 64 which is 8, and 8 squared or 8 x 8 = 64. Then after 7, it would be the square root of 36 which is 6, because 6 squared or 6 x 6 = 36. Having the sequence be 10, 9, 8, 7, and then finally 6. Remember when dealing with squaring numbers, it's a number multiplied by itself, and with square roots, you find that number and divided it by the given product to get the exact same number. If you need clarification on the difference, please feel free to ask me.
