Question
Write four rational numbers between $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{3}$
✓
Answer
Since squares of $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{3}$ are $2$ and $3$ respectively.
Now, find four rational numbers between $2$ and $3$ such that each of them is a perfect square.
Let the numbers be $2.25,2.4025,2.56,2.89$,
where,
$\sqrt{2.25}=1.5$
$\sqrt{2.4025}=1.55$
$\sqrt{2.56}=1.6$
$\sqrt{2.89}=1.7$
Hence, required rational numbers between $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{3}$ are $1.5,1.55,1.6$ and $1.7 .$
