Question

which of the following is closest to the approximate value of $10\sqrt{3}$? (1 point)
a 17
b 16
c 15
d 19

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the value of $\sqrt{3}$

We know that $\sqrt{3}\approx1.732$.

Step2: Calculate $10\sqrt{3}$

Multiply $10$ by the approximate value of $\sqrt{3}$: $10\times1.732 = 17.32$.

Step3: Compare with options

Now we compare $17.32$ with the given options (17, 16, 15, 19). The value $17.32$ is closest to 17.

Answer:

A. 17
