Basically a perfect square is a number like 81 or 100. When these numbers are square rooted, they equal whole numbers like 9 or 10. An imperfect square is a number that when is square rooted equals and repeating decimal, like 29 when square rooted equals 5.385164807134504... (Note: Both even and odd number can be imperfect or perfect squares.)

How do you solve imperfect squares?

u cant get the excat answer but if you want 1) To find imperfect squares you estimate the square to the nearest integer 85 2) This is an imperfect square because no whole number multiplies itself to equal 85 you find the closest square but less than the imperfect squares answer 9*9=81 4) Now you find a square that is closest higher than the imperfect squares answer 10*10=100 5) So 85 lays between 9 and 10
