You gave the exact value.  The student needs the approximate value.

Since the student didn't give any information about the "best approximation", I can't help beyond an exact answer. I assume there's a multiple answer question and the final answer will depend on what place value the question requires. You are right that a calculator will help in this instance unless the student happens to have memorized an appropriate approximation of the square root of 3.
