Answer: C) 7 and 8

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

Step-by-step explanation:

When you list out the perfect squares, notice that 49 and 64 are on that list.

These are values we focus on because 49 < 52 < 64

We'll apply the square root to all three sides


49 < 52 < 64\\\\√(49) < √(52) < √(64)\\\\7 < √(52) < 8\\\\

This shows that
√(52) is between 7 and 8

A calculator helps confirm this


√(52) \approx 7.2111\\\\
