A perfect square is a number which can be written as the product of two identical numbers:
16, 25, and 36 are prefect squares because:
4*4 = 16
5*5 = 25
and
6* 6 = 36
With that in mind, you should be able to continue multiplying numbers until you find your answer. :)

why is that ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for a number to be a perfect sqaure , the number must have a positive integer square root

Riah... finish these multiplications:
7*7 =
8*8 =
9*9 =
10* 10 =
11*11 =
then ask yourself "Is 98 one of the answers?"
If YES = then 98 is a "perfect square"
Otherwise, it is not a perfect square. :)
