Which of the following points most closely represents $\sqrt{75}$ ?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) $d$
(B) $e$
(c) $f$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Square Root
First, calculate the square root of 75.
\[ \sqrt{75} \approx 8.66 \]
Step 2: Identify the Closest Point
Next, identify which point on the number line is closest to 8.66. The points given are:
\( d \approx 8.6 \)
\( e \approx 8.7 \)
\( f \approx 8.8 \)
Step 3: Compare Values
Compare the calculated value (8.66) with the given points:
\( d \approx 8.6 \)
\( e \approx 8.7 \)
\( f \approx 8.8 \)
The value 8.66 is closest to point \( e \).
Final Answer
The point that most closely represents \( \sqrt{75} \) is:
\[ \boxed{e} \]
