To verify Walter's estimation of \( \sqrt{13} \) being between \( 3.61 \) and \( 3.62 \), we need to calculate \( 3.61^2 \) and \( 3.62^2 \):

1. Calculate \( 3.61^2 \):
\[
3.61^2 = 12.9921
\]

2. Calculate \( 3.62^2 \):
\[
3.62^2 = 13.0644
\]

Now we compare these results to 13:

- \( 3.61^2 = 12.9921 < 13 \)
- \( 3.62^2 = 13.0644 > 13 \)

From this, we can conclude that \( \sqrt{13} \) falls between \( 3.61 \) and \( 3.62 \).

Walter is correct.
The correct answer is: **Yes, Walter is correct.**
