Could you have possibly meant the square root of 28? That is often the form of this question. If so, you look at the nearest perfect square roots that fit on either side of it. 28 is a repeating decimal when you attempt to take its square root. But looking down, the square root of 25 would be 5 and looking up, the square root of 36 would be 6. So the two consecutive integers that the square root of 28 would fall between would be 5 and 6.
