Answer: 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to choose two numbers that have perfect roots. One above 14, and one below 14. The nearest two perfect roots to 14 is 9 and 16. We have the following inequality:
[tex]\sqrt{9} < \sqrt{14} < \sqrt{16}[/tex]
[tex]3 < \sqrt{14} < 4[/tex]
This means the square root of 14 is somewhere between 3 and 4. A good estimate would be 3.5
