sqrt%2893%29 is between what two numbers?

We write down, or just think through, the list of squares
and their square roots:

1² = 1, therefore sqrt%281%29 = 1
2² = 4, therefore sqrt%284%29 = 2
3² = 9, therefore sqrt%289%29 = 3
4² = 16, therefore sqrt%2816%29 = 4
5² = 25, therefore sqrt%2825%29 = 5
6² = 36, therefore sqrt%2836%29 = 6
7² = 49, therefore sqrt%2849%29 = 7
8² = 64, therefore sqrt%2864%29 = 8
9² = 81, therefore sqrt%2881%29 = 9
10² = 100, therefore sqrt%28100%29 = 10

That's far enough. We know from that list that 
sqrt%2893%29 is between sqrt%2881%29 which is 9 and sqrt%28100%29 which is 10.

Therefore the answer is C).
