Answer: 9 and 16

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of perfect squares is 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, ...

A perfect square is the result of multiplying some whole number with itself

Examples:

1^2 = 1*1 = 1

2^2 = 2*2 = 4

3^2 = 3*3 = 9

4^2 = 4*4 = 16

and so on. We see that 10 is between the perfect squares 9 and 16
