## anonymous 4 years ago What is this rounded to the nearest tenth?

1. anonymous

$\sqrt{11}$

2. anonymous

Do what Phi says..sqrt(11) = 3.31662479

3. phi

what are the choices?

4. anonymous

A. 3.30 B. 3.31 C. 3.32 D. 3.33

5. phi

Does the question ask for the nearest HUNDRETH?

6. anonymous

:O I ment to write that!!!! D: I'm sowie!

7. anonymous

Thanks for catching that and saving my butt Phi!!!(((:

You have to square them: 3.30^2, 3.31^2 etc then you have to choose the biggest number which is less than 11

9. phi

sqrt(11) = 3.31662479 see the 1 in the hundreths position? look at the number after it

10. anonymous

yes it's a 6 (:

11. phi

which means make the 1 a 2!

12. anonymous

i have 10 geometry questions x.x

13. anonymous

if you do that it will be 3.32662479

14. anonymous

Awe XDlHello Phi's your only hope...& mine to...:( were guna work him to death D:

15. phi

when you round, you drop all the numbers after the hundreths. That is why we are doing this, to make the number simpler.

16. anonymous

So 3.326? or 3.32?

17. anonymous

3.32 right? (:

18. phi

you start with sqrt(11) = 3.31662479 then find the hundreths spot (it is 1). Look at the number after the 1. It is 6 write 3.32 (change the 1 to a 2. Drop all the other numbers)

19. anonymous

so does that give me my answer? :D

20. phi

yes you have to it. It is choice C

21. anonymous

C :D?? is it is it is itt (((((:

22. anonymous

OH YAY!!!! I think I know now!!! (((:
