To solve for this, let's find the squares of the top 10 integers. To find the square of a number, you must multiply it by itself.
1^2 = 1
2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25
6^2 = 36
7^2 = 49
8^2 = 64
9^2 = 81
10^2 = 100
We're looking for the numbers that 61 is between.
We have 49 and 64, or 7^2 and 8^2.
Since we're looking for the positive square roots, it will be between 7 and 8.
I hope this helps!
