3. 2.7 Warm-Up 5. A square room has a side length of 25 feet. What is its area? ANSWER 625 ft 2

4. 2.7 Example 1 a.  – + 36 = + – 6 The positive and negative square are 6 and – 6. roots of 36 b.  49 = 7 The positive square root of 49 is 7. c.  4 – =2 – The negative square root of 4 is – 2. Evaluate the expression.

5. 2.7 Guided Practice  – 1. 9 – =3  2. 25 = 5 Evaluate the expression.  64 3. – + =8 – +  – 4. 81 = 9 –

6. 2.7 Example 2 FURNITURE The top of a folding table is a square whose area is 945 square inches. Approximate the side length of the tabletop to the nearest inch. SOLUTION 2 = You need to find the side length s of the tabletop such that s 945. This means that s is the positive square root of 945. You can use a table to determine whether 945 is a perfect square.

7. 2.7 Example 2 As shown in the table, 945 is not a perfect square. The greatest perfect square less than 945 is 900. The least perfect square greater than 945 is 961. 900 < 945 < 961 Write a compound inequality that compares 945 with both 900 and 961. < <  961  900  945 Take positive square root of each number. 30  945 < < 31 Find square root of each perfect square.

8. 2.7 Example 2 Because 945 is closer to 961 than to 900, is closer to 31 than to 30.  945 ANSWER The side length of the tabletop is about 31 inches.

9. 2.7 Guided Practice Approximate the square root to the nearest integer. 5.  32 6 6.  103 10 7.  48 – – 7 8.  350 – – 19

14. 2.7 Example 5 Rewrite the given conditional statement in if-then form. Then tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. SOLUTION a. Given: No fractions are irrational numbers. If-then form: If a number is a fraction, then it is not an irrational number. The statement is true.

15. 2.7 Example 5 b. Given: All real numbers are rational numbers. The statement is false. For example, is a real number but not a rational number.  2 If-then form: If a number is a real number, then it is a rational number.

16. 2.7 Guided Practice Rewrite the given conditional statement in if-then form. Then tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. All square roots of perfect squares are rational numbers. 11. If-then form: If a number is the square root of perfect square, then it is a rational number. The statement is true.

17. 2.7 Guided Practice Rewrite the given conditional statement in if-then form. Then tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. All repeating decimals are irrational numbers. 12. If-then form: If a number is a repeating decimal, then it is an irrational number. The statement is false. For example, 0.333… is a repeating decimal and can be written as, so it is a rational number. 1 3

18. 2.7 Guided Practice Rewrite the given conditional statement in if-then form. Then tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. No integers are irrational numbers. 13. If-then form: If a number is an integer, then it is not an irrational number. The statement is true.

19. 2.7 Lesson Quiz Evaluate the expression. Approximate the square root to the nearest integer. 1. – +  289 ANSWER – + 17 2.  36 – 3.3.  21 – ANSWER – 5 ANSWER – 6 4.4.  620 ANSWER 25
