Well, really just whether we have a clue as to the relative size or scale of squares and roots.
- 00:32
Easy to brute force this one.
- 00:34
Look at the potential answers.
- 00:36
Try squaring 3 -- it's 9.
- 00:38
Square 4 -- its 16... so, nope.
- 00:42
The square root of 16 is less than the square root of 35, because 16 is less than 35.
- 00:48
Try B.
- 00:49
We know we need a much bigger 2nd number... so square 5.
- 00:52
It's still not bigger than 35...5 squared is just 25.
- 00:56
So now try 6 in C -- it's 36 -- voila. Answer C.
- 01:02
Because 36 is greater than 35, we know that the square root of 35 is less than the square root of 36.
- 01:10
Of course, this problem could get much more complicated if we were using... extensions.
