carlos found that the length of the diagonal of his laptop monitor is $sqrt{290}$. if the manufacturer rounds to the nearest whole inch, what size is the monitor as measured by the diagonal?\n12\n17\n97\n245
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the range of $\sqrt{290}$
We know that $17^2=289$ and $18^2 = 324$. Since $289<290<324$, we have $17<\sqrt{290}<18$.
Step2: Round $\sqrt{290}$ to the nearest whole - number
Since 290 is closer to 289 than to 324, $\sqrt{290}\approx17$ when rounded to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
17
