Jaclyn estimates the square root of 50 in the following way: 150 -2.25 -205 - 10
(a) Explain why her reasoning is incorrect.

(b) Estimate the square root of 50 to the nearest tenth without using your calculator. Show your work.

x=6 and x=3

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus

using pemdas, (order of operations) you'll see the answer is 24.
