Which number does \(\sqrt{7.84}\) represent on the number line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(2.8\)
Since \(2.8^2=2.8\times2.8=7.84\), we have \(\sqrt{7.84}=2.8\). The nearby choices are incorrect because \(2.7^2=7.29\) and \(2.9^2=8.41\). In an exam, squaring the options is a quick way to verify a decimal square root.
