Why is point A considered closer to the square root of 43 than point B?

• A is smaller than B

• A squared is closer to 43

• B is not on the number line

• B squared is less than 43

What can be inferred if A squared is greater than 43?

• A is less than the square root of 43

• A is equal to the square root of 43

• A is greater than the square root of 43

• A is not related to the square root of 43

What is the significance of ruling out point B?

• It indicates B is further from the root

• It shows B is not on the number line

• It confirms B is closer to the root

• It simplifies the calculation

What is the final conclusion about point A?

• A is not a good approximation

• A is a good approximation

• A is exactly the square root

• A is irrelevant to the problem
