Hal used the following procedure to find an estimate for step 1: since and and 81 < 82.5 < 100, is between 9 and 10. step 2: since 82.5 is closer to 81, square the tenths closer to 9. step 3: since 81.00 < 82.5 < 82.81, square the hundredths closer to 9.1. step 4: since 82.5 is closer to 82.62 than it is to 82.44, 9.09 is the best approximation for . in which step, if any, did hal make an error? in step 1, is between 8 and 10 because 80 and . in step 2, he made a calculation error when squaring. in step 4, he made an error in determining which value is closer to 82.5. hal did not make an error.
