Respuesta :

Answer: The value of square root of 75 is 8.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]\sqrt{75}=3\sqrt{25}=3\times 5=15[/tex]

a) Explain why her reasoning is incorrect.

Her reasoning is incorrect.

As we can write it as :

[tex]\sqrt{75}=\sqrt{3\times 25}=\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{25}=5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

(b) Estimate the square root of 75 to the nearest thousandths without using your calculator. Show

As we know that

[tex]\sqrt{3}=1.73[/tex]

So, the square root of 75 would be :

[tex]75=5\sqrt{3}=5\times 1.73=8.65[/tex]

Hence, the value of square root of 75 is 8.65.
