It appears there might be a small error or confusion in your notation. If you meant to write an inequality comparing the square roots of two numbers, it should be formatted as either \( \sqrt{81} < \sqrt{88} \) or \( \sqrt{81} > \sqrt{88} \).
Let's evaluate these square roots:
- \( \sqrt{81} = 9 \)
- \( \sqrt{88} \approx 9.38 \) (since \( 9.38^2 \approx 88 \))
Now let's compare the two values:
- Since \( 9 < 9.38 \), we can conclude that \( \sqrt{81} < \sqrt{88} \).
If you meant something else or want a different type of inequality, please clarify!
