What cosecutive whole numbers does the following square root fall between <\(26)<

1 answer

To find the consecutive whole numbers that the square root of 26 falls between, we need to determine the square roots of the whole numbers surrounding 26.

We know that:

  • \(5^2 = 25\)
  • \(6^2 = 36\)

Therefore, we can infer that:

\[ 5 < \sqrt{26} < 6 \]

So, the consecutive whole numbers that \(\sqrt{26}\) falls between are \(5\) and \(6\).
