Estimating square roots

It may even be used in a situation where the area of a square is given and you must find the length of the side. The homework from last week thursday was to do pg.136#27-36 and pg. 138#66-75. Tonight's homework is to describe :1. how to convert numbers from scientific notation to standard form. 2.a Strategy you may use when dealing with word problems involving elevation or temperature.
