Worksheet Overview

 This table shows the first few whole numbers and their squares.

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100

 

From the table we can see that the √81 = 9 and √100 = 10.

 

It also means that we can find an estimate for the cube root of any number between 81 and 100.

 

For example, the √89 lies between 9 and 10.
