Answer:

It falls in between 4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can find the perfect squares that are before and after 20.

Perfect squares are numbers that are made by multiplying a number by itself. Numbers that are multiplied by itself 3 times are called perfect triples.

To find the square root of a number is to find out what number multiplied by itself gives us the number.

The perfect square before 20 is 16, as it is 4², or 4 x 4

The perfect square after 20 is 25, as it is 5², or 5 x 5

Therefore, the square root of 20 will fall between 4 and 5.
