Final answer:
The consecutive perfect squares before and after √29 are 25 and 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the consecutive perfect squares before and after the irrational number √29, we need to find the largest perfect square that is smaller than 29 and the smallest perfect square that is larger than 29.
The largest perfect square smaller than 29 is 25 (5 squared) and the smallest perfect square larger than 29 is 36 (6 squared).
So the consecutive perfect squares before and after √29 are 25 and 36.
