To solve the quadratic equation using square roots, first make sure the equation is in the correct form:

\[(x+36)^2 - 38 = 251\]

Bring the constant term to the right side of the equation:

\[(x+36)^2 = 251 + 38\]

Solve the right side:

\[(x+36)^2 = 289\]

Now, take the square root of both sides:

\[x + 36 = \pm \sqrt{289}\]

Since \(289 = 17^2\), the square root of 289 is 17:

\[x + 36 = \pm 17\]

Now we have two possible solutions when we consider the positive and negative square roots:

\[x + 36 = 17\]
\[x = 17 - 36\]
\[x = -19\]

And

\[x + 36 = -17\]
\[x = -17 - 36\]
\[x = -53\]

So, the two solutions are:

\[\{ -19, -53 \}\]

Therefore, the correct response is:

\[{ -19, -53 }\]
