29
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Use the approximation<a>formula</a>: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square). Using the formula: (1.56 - 1) / (4 - 1) = 0.56 / 3 ≈ 0.187</p>

30
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Add this decimal to the smaller square root (1): 1 + 0.187 ≈ 1.187 This is a rough approximation. More precise calculations through methods like long division give us approximately 1.249.</p>
