What is your answer now?
True
Right. :-)
You are correct! The statement is false. A perfect square is indeed the square of a whole number. To verify if a number is a perfect square, you can take its square root and check if it results in a whole number.
For example, let's consider the number 25. Taking the square root of 25 gives us √25 = 5. Since the square root is a whole number (5), we can conclude that 25 is a perfect square.
However, if we take the number 30, the square root of 30 is approximately 5.48, which is not a whole number. Therefore, 30 is not a perfect square.
Remember, to check if a number is a perfect square, find its square root and verify if it is a whole number.
