One number from the list {15, 51, 65, 101, 169, 296} is a perfect square. 

What is the square root of this perfect square number?

Group of answer choices

8

10

13

17

Answer 1

A quick way to solve this would be to square the numbers in your solution set to see which one matches. So, let's try that.

8 x 8 = 64

10 x 10 = 100

13 x 13 = 169

17 x 17 = 289

So it looks like 13 is your solution because 13 squared is 169 and that is in your set of perfect square numbers.
