Step-by-step explanation: this is how you would estimate the square root of a number if it is not a perfect square, here are 3 steps to help.
1. pick an estimate of the square root. example, if we find sqrt of 5, if we pick 2.
2. divide the number by the estimate. example, 5/2 = 2.5
3 . average the result and the estimate
and this is how you would estimate the square root of a number that is not a perfect square, i hope this is useful. or this
approximate between two whole numbers by finding the perfect squares nearest to the target number. indentify which value the non perfect square root is closet to, then use the irative process.
both of the explanations i have stated are correct so either one of them will work.
