1. Learn to estimate square roots and solve problems using square roots.1

2. Example 1: Estimating Square Roots of Numbers
The square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 55? 55
72 = 49
49 < 55
82 = 64
64 > 55
55 is between 7 and 8 because 55 is between 49 and 64. 2

3. Example 2: Estimating Square Roots of Numbers Continued
The square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 90? – 90
–92 = 81
81 < 90
–102 = 100
100 > 90
is between –9 and –10 because 90 is between 81 and 100. 90 – 3

4. Think: What are perfect squares close to 80? 80
Example 3
The square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 80? 80
82 = 64
64 < 80
92 = 81
81 > 80
80 is between 8 and 9 because 80 is between 64 and 81. 4

5. The square root is between two integers. Name the integers.
Example 4
The square root is between two integers. Name the integers.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 45? – 45
–62 = 36
36 < 45
–72 = 49
49 > 45
is between –6 and –7 because 45 is between 36 and 49. 45 – 5
