Question

1. between which two consecutive whole numbers does the length of the diagonal fall? indicate which whole number it is closer to.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the range of $\sqrt{18}$.

We know that $4^2=16$ and $5^2 = 25$. Since $16<18<25$, we have $4<\sqrt{18}<5$.

Step2: Determine the closer whole - number.

Calculate the differences: $18 - 16=2$ and $25 - 18 = 7$. Since $2<7$, $\sqrt{18}$ is closer to 4.

Answer:

The two consecutive whole numbers between which the length of the diagonal lies are 4 and 5, and the diagonal is closer to 4.
