So... this is really testing our ability to recognize perfect squares.
- 00:29
It should be pretty obvious with all the double zeroes in here,
- 00:32
we may very well have a couple of them in our hands.
- 00:35
900 is 30 squared and 1600 is 40 squared.
- 00:39
But if you DIDN'T recognize them, we could have brute-forced the answer by just
- 00:43
taking each answer choice one by one until we find one that works.
- 00:48
9 squared is 81, which is below 900
- 00:51
Answer B gets us to the promised land.
- 00:54
If we were to keep going and square the 90 listed in choice C, we are already well above the minimum.
- 01:00
And since D is even higher, it's an easy reject.
- 01:02
Done. Answer B it is.
