Square Root of 111

We are going to find the square root of 111.

First, you find the perfect squares that are closest to 111. In this case they would be 10*10=100 and 11*11=121.

Second, you subtract 100 from 121. (121-100=21), divide that by two. (21/2=10.5), and add that to 100 (100+10.5=110.5) to find the number that is exactly between 100 and 121 and its approximate square root (10.5). I checked what 10.5*10.5 is and the answer is 110.25. Since that is so close to 111, I think that the approximate sqaure root of 11 is either going to be 10.5 or 10.6.

Last, we are going to check what 10.6*10.6 is. It equals 112.36.

Since 110.25 is closer to 111, the square root of 111 is 10.6.
