The edge length of a cube-shaped box is 2√5 inches long. estimate the length of the edge to the nearest tenth of an inch. then explain why you can only estimate this length, not find its exact value.

a) 4.5 inches

b) 2√5 is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that the edge length of a cube-shaped box is 2√5 inches long.

To estimate the length of the edge to the nearest tenth of an inch, we change √5 to decimals to obtain:

When we round to the nearest tenth, we obtain 4.5

We cannot find its exact value because √5 is an irrational number.

The product of a rational and an irrational number is irrational.

if i put something wrong your not gonna like it so rather not say nothing.
