Aproxímate the value of square root of 5 to the nearest hundredth

2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is not a perfect square and therefore its square root is not an integer.

it is a decimal which can partly be presented as 2.236068. the digits after the decimal point occupy the following decimal spaces

2-tenths

3-hundredths

6-thousandths.

If the digit in the thousandths position is 5 or greater then we add one to the digit in the hundredths position to get the nearest hundredth while if it is less than 5 we truncate at the hundredth position and retain the digit at this position as the nearest hundredth.

in this question, the digit in the thousandth position is 6 thus we add 1 to the digit in the hundredth position that is,3 to get 4

therefore the square root of 5 to the nearest hundredth is 2.24
