Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Familiarize yourself with perfect squares in the neighborhood of 140:

10^2 = 100

11^2 = 121

12^2 = 144

Note that 140 is much closer to the perfect square than it is to the perfect square 121.  The value of √140 must lie closer to 12 than to 11.

Place a point on the number line about 3/4 of the way from 11 to 12.
