Which point best approximates √53 on the number line below?

To approximate √53 on a number line, we first need to find two perfect squares close to 53. We know that:
– √49 = 7 (since 7 x 7 = 49)
– √64 = 8 (since 8 x 8 = 64)
So, √53 is between 7 and 8. Since 53 is closer to 49 than to 64, we can expect that √53 is slightly above 7.
The approximate value of √53 is around 7.28. Look for the point on your number line that falls just above 7, which should correspond to one of the color-coded points listed. Without seeing the actual number line, I recommend you choose the point that you think is closest to 7.28.
If you’re unsure, take a closer look at the number line to see which point aligns with this approximation! Keep up the great work!
