Lesson Summary
Perfect square numbers are those that are a product of an integer factor multiplied by itself. For example, the
number 25 isa perfect square number because itis the product of 5 multiplied by 5.
When the square of the length of an unknown side of aright triangle s not equal to a perfect square, you can
estimate the length as a whole number by determining which two perfect squares the square of the length is
between,
Example:
Let c in. represent the length of the hypotenuse. Then,
F4r
9449
7in 58
‘The number 58 is not a perfect square, but it is between the perfect squares 49 and 64.
‘Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is between 7 in. and 8 in. but closer to 8 in.
aa because 58 is closer to the perfect square 64 than iti to the perfect square 49.
