Why is a number a perfect square?
you can multiply two whole numbers together to get that. if you use graph paper, you could make a perfect square. the area of that square is called a perfect square because you can make a perfect square using that many units as the area. for example 4x4=16, so 16 would be the perfect square.
What is the greatest perfect square possible?
There is no limit to the number of perfect squares. To find a perfect square, you simply need to pick a number and square it. E.g. 7^2=49, so 49 is a perfect square. As there is infinitely many numbers to pick, and as the larger a number the larger it's square, there are infinitely many perfect squares and they just keep on getting larger!
What is the difference between square roots and a perfect square?
The square root of a perfect square is a whole number. Example sqrt(36) = 6 so 36 is a perfect square Example sqrt(25) = 5 so 25 is a perfect square Example sqrt(8)= 2.828 which is not whole so 8 is not a perfect square
Is 51 a perfect square or not?
51 is not a perfect square. 72 = 49 82 = 64 51 is between 49 and 64 so its square root is 7+a bit, and it is not a perfect square.
Is 160 a perfect square?
no, 12 squared is 144 and 13 squared is 169. so no it is not a perfect square
