Answer:

  √24 ≈ 4.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root can be estimated using a linear interpolation between the perfect squares on either side of the number of interest.

  4² = 16

  5² = 25

So, √24 can be estimated to be ...

  (24 -16)/(25 -16) +4 = 8/9 +4 = 44/9 ≈ 4.8888...

This estimate can be refined by doing one iteration of the Babylonian method. That averages the current guess with the value obtained by dividing 24 by that guess.

  √24 ≈ (44/9 +24(9/44))/2 = 4 89/99 ≈ 4.898989...

  √24 ≈ 4.90

_____

A calculator gives the root as approximately 4.89897948557. Rounded to hundredths, that is 4.90.

The measure of each angles
Aleks [24]
Supplementary angles is when 2 angles add up to 180 degrees.

We will name the smaller angle a and the bigger angle b.

therefore:

b - 172.6 = a

a + b = 180

Now we substitute:

a + b = 180
b - 172.6 + b = 180
2b - 172.6 = 180
2b = 352.6
b = 176.3

To find a:

a + b = 180
a + 176.3 = 180
a = 3.7

Therefore,

angle a = 3.7 degrees
angle b = 176.3 degrees.
