Answer: 64

Explanation:

By definition, a perfect square is the square of a whole number.

The information given in the problem that you must keep on mind is:

- The number has two digits.

- The number is a perfect square ( Is obtained by squaring a whole number).

- The sum of its two digits is 10.

The number 64 is formed by the digit 6 and the digit 4. The sum of both digits is:


6+4=10

The number 64 can be written as:


64=8*8=8^2

Then, it is perfect square.
