Between which two consecutive whole numbers does sqrt(76) lie?

📘 Worked solution
182 = 64 and 92 = 81Find the perfect squares closest to 76 on each side.
264 < 76 < 8176 sits between those two perfect squares.
3√(76) is between 8 and 9.Since square roots keep the same order as their radicands, sqrt(76) is between sqrt(64) = 8 and sqrt(81) = 9.
