Which of the following is the best estimate of the square root of 90 ?
a. 9.1
b. 9.4
C. 9.7

To get the best estimate of the square root of 90 we will apply a short cut.

Square root of 90 will be in the form of a mixed fraction as or in decimals.

Here, a = square root of a perfect square number nearest to 90.

b = Difference of 90 and the perfect square number

c = Double of 'a'

Nearest square number to 90 = 81

Square root of 81 = 9

So, a = 9

Difference in 90 and 81 = 9

So, b = 90 - 81 = 9

And double of 9 = 18

Therefore, c = 18

Hence,

So the nearest number given in the option may be 9.4

Therefore, Option B will be the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
