part a
a trail that runs from one corner of the park to the other corner is \\(\sqrt{3}\\) kilometers long. what is the length of the trail to the nearest hundredth of a kilometer?
drag the point to its approximate location on the number line.
number line with marks at 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2

Explanation:

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

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

Step2: Round to the nearest hundredth

To round 1.732 to the nearest hundredth, we look at the thousandth place, which is 2. Since 2 < 5, we don't round up the hundredth place. So 1.732 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 1.73.

Answer:

1.73
