Why do you multiply by 1.732?

Answer 1

Not sure exactly what you are asking but you do it the same way as a 4 digit number

only the answer needs to have 3 decimal places in it when you are done.

==========================

There may be different reasons for multiplying by 1.732, depending on the specific

situation in which you find yourself at that moment, which unfortunately you have

neglected to describe for us.

All I can tell you is that in general, whenever you need the square root of 3 and you're

in a hurry, you can use 1.732 in that emergency and the inaccuracy of your result

will be less than 3/1000 of 1 percent.
