Between which two integers does the square root of 80 lie?

00:10

Okay here are the potential answers...

00:13

Before we spoil the ending and kill all the drama... why not hit pause and try to resolve it yourself first?

00:21

So... this is kind of a forcibly brute-forced problem.

00:25

In other words, there isn't some magic formula we can use to solve this puppy.

00:29

What we do know is that there are perfect squares in and around 80 that'll make life easier.

00:47

And that's... it.
