The square of an integer is called a perfect square. 49 is a perfect square because is a perfect square. When a radicand is not a perfect square, you can estimate the square root.
Problem 2: Estimating a Square Root Lobster eyes are made of tiny square regions. Under a microscope, the surface of the eye looks like graph paper. A scientist measures the area of one of the squares to be 386 square microns. What is the approximate side of the square to the nearest micron?

Rational Number: In the form , where a and b are integers and In decimal form they are terminating decimal such as 5.45 or a repeating decimal such as 0.416666… which you can write as
Natural numbers: also called counting numbers and are the ones you count with {1, 2, 3, …} Whole Numbers: include the natural numbers, but also includes zero {0, 1, 2, 3, …} Integers: The whole numbers, plus their respective negative numbers {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}
Irrational numbers: cannot be written as a fraction. In decimal form, irrational numbers do not terminate or repeat. (some square roots are rational and some are irrational) (if a whole number is not a perfect square, its square is irrational ex:)
Rational numbers and irrational numbers form the set of Real numbers
To which subsets of the real number system does each number belong? • 15
