Answer:

false

Explanation:

I'm assuming this a true/false statement? Perfect squares can be defined as:
a^2 where a is an integer, and a^2 is a perfect square. The reason for this is because if you take the square root of a^2, you get a, which should be an integer. Odd numbers are also integers, 3^2 = 9, and taking the square root of 9 results in an integer. So for this reason perfect squares is a number whose square root is an integer, not just even numbers
