√88 = 9.38083..........
look at 3rd digit behind dec. pt. i.e. 0 <5
√88 = 9.38083......= 9.38 to the nearest hundredth
Or you could use TAB button on calculator

you may try the Mechanic's Rule, a manner of approximating sq. roots. you're able to try this with a 4 function calculator. a million. enable p be an preliminary wager on the sq. root of x. 2. Compute q = x / p. 3. Compute r = (p + q) / 2 4. enable p = r Repeat steps 2, 3 and four till you get the needed accuracy.

Use the button marked √
Or do a search on 'Newton-Raphson Approximation'
Or search for 'longhand square root extraction'

Nearest 100th is 2 decimal places.
56.567 = 56.57
34.011=34.01 etc.
