Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the square root of 16 is 4. We know the square root of 25 is 5. So we know the square root of 17 lays between these two numbers but much nearer to 4 than 5.
Lets try 4.1 squared which equals 16.81. Now try 4.2 squared which equals 17.64.
So 4.1 is the closest to the square root of 17 to the nearest tenth.
