ESTIMATION OF SQUARED
NUMBERS
Round off the given numbers to the nearest ten,
tenth, hundreds, thousandth and etc.
E.g;
Round 7298 to thousands place
= 7000
Method 1 : By approximation
35.6 ≈ 40 (round off to the nearest tenth)
35.62 ≈ 402
Therefore, 35.62 ≈ 1600
Method 2 : By determining the range
30 35.6 40
