Answer and Eplainations:

i) 1 is a perfect square because 1 x 1  = 1

ii) 24 is not a perfect square because it is a natural number. Natural numbers cannot be squared.

iii) 225 is a perfect square 15 x 15 = 225

iv) 500 is not a perfect square it is an irrational number

289 is a perfect square because 17 x 17 = 289

the square root of 289 is 17 therefore it is a perfect square
