When we say estimate, it means that we need to approximate the value of something that is being calculated. Oftentimes, this term is used in mathematical computation, such as estimating a value of a non-perfect square number, or the product of a resulting operation. The word estimate may mean that it is not the exact value, but it is very close, or may sometimes be the exact value, depending on the type of estimation that is used in performing the operations.
