How to read this

  • The decimal is rounded; the surd form is the exact value.
  • Pulling out a square factor simplifies the surd — √50 = 5√2.
  • If the number is not a perfect square, the decimal never ends (irrational).
  • Knowing which two integers it sits between is enough to estimate in your head.
