Question

which of the following points most closely represents \\(\sqrt{27}\\)?

choose 1 answer:
a \\(a\\)
b \\(b\\)
c \\(c\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find nearby perfect squares

$5^2=25$, $5.2^2=27.04$, $5.1^2=26.01$

Step2: Compare $\sqrt{27}$ to values

$\sqrt{27} \approx 5.196$

Step3: Match to number line point

$5.196$ is very close to 5.2, near point $b$

Answer:

B. b
