1) find the perfect square closest to the number
2) take that square root, and then divide your number by that number
3) take the average of the perfect square root (the whole number) and the result of dividing your original number by that root. 

Example: Approximate square root of 27
Closest perfect square: 25
Square root: 5
27 ÷ 5 = 5.4
Average between 5 and 5.4 = 5.20
5.2² = 27.04. Fast and not a bad approximation!

<u>Sample Response:</u> Approximate between two whole numbers by finding the perfect squares nearest to the target number. Identify which value the non-perfect square root is closest to, then use the iterative process to approximate further to the tenths place, and then further to the hundredths place.

Given: PRST square
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

Find the first partial derivatives of the function. (sn = x1 + 2x2 + ... + nxn; i = 1, ..., n. give your answer only in terms of
liq [111]

Answer:

  ∂u/∂xi = i·cos(sn)

Step-by-step explanation:

For u = sin(v), the partial derivative of u with respect to xi is ...

  ∂u/∂xi = cos(v)·∂v/xi

In this case, v=sn, and ∂sn/∂xi = i, so the derivatives of interest are ...

  ∂u/∂xi = i·cos(sn)

An ore ship is traveling west toward Duluth on Lake Superior at 18 miles per hour. The bearing of Split Rock Lighthouse is 285de
goblinko [34]
We are given
v = 18 m/hr west
θ1 = 285°
θ2 = 340°

After 1 hours, the distance traveled by the ship is
dv = 18 mi

The distance between the ship and the lighthouse is
d = 18 / cos 340

A piece of string is 325 centimeters long. You need the string to be 114 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?
sertanlavr [38]

There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.1 and 1/4 meters can also be written as 1.25, since 1/4 = 0.25.To find the answer, convert 1.25 meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters1.25 meters = x centimeters1.25 is 125% of 1. In other words, there is a 25% increase.
Now apply this increase to the centimeters side.125% = 1.251.25 • 100 = 125
So 1.25 meters (1 and 1/4 meters) equals 125 centimeters.
The string is 325 centimeters.In order for the string to be 125 centimeters, you need to cut some off.To find how much you need to cut off, subtract 125 from 325.325 - 125 = 200
Answer: In order for your string to be 1 and 1/4 meters, you must cut 200 centimeters off the original 325 centimeter long string.
