To estimate the square root of a number that is not a perfect square, you would find the perfect squares that the number is between and you know the square roots of those, so the answer will be somewhere between them. The closer you are to the number below the number you are estimating for, the smaller the decimal (_.1, _.2, etc.) and then it is opposite as you get closer to the number above the number you are estimating for.
