Question

Which point approximates the square root of 15

Answer 1

Option B:

Point B approximates $\sqrt{15}$.

Solution:

Let us first find the approximate value of $\sqrt{15}$.

$\sqrt{15}=3.87$

In the number line 3.87 lies between 3 and 4.

So that $\sqrt{15}$ lies between 3 and 4.

Look at the given number line.

Point B lies between 2 and 4.

Hence point B approximates $\sqrt{15}$.

Option B is the correct answer.
