Describe in your own words a perfect square. of the numbers 25 and 50, identify which is a perfect square and explain why

A perfect square is a number which contains a a factor that involves a number multiplied by itself. You could also say a perfect square, when taken the square root of such a number, involves a whole number answer. Either explanation would work, and there are surely mainly more haha. 25 is the perfect square because 5*5 is a factor of 25, while 50 doesn't have a factor of the same numbers.
