The closest perfect square less than 59 is 49 (7^2), and the closest perfect square greater than 59 is 64 (8^2).
To estimate √59, we can consider how close 59 is to these perfect squares. 59 is closer to 49 than it is to 64.
Taking the square root of 49, we have √49 = 7.
Therefore, the square root of 59, √59, is closest to 7.
