Perfect Squares Rational Roots Irrational Roots
Identify each root as rational or irrational.
Estimating Irrational Square Roots Step 1: Find the two perfect squares the irrational root lies between. (hint use the list of perfect squares: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100..etc)
Determine what two consecutive integers each irrational root lies between.
Estimating Irrational Square Roots Step 2: Subtract the irrational root from the perfect squares to determine which number it is closest to.
Estimate each irrational root to the nearest integer without using a calculator.
