Answer:

The number will lie between 14 and 16.

Explanation:

If the square of a whole number is between 200 and 250 then the inequality formed will be

200 < x² < 250

where x is a whole number.

Now we will simplify this inequality.


√(200)<\sqrt{x^(2) } <√(250)

14.14 < x < 15.81

By approximation, 14 < x < 16

Therefore, the number must lie between 14 and 16.
