Of 8500 member in notebook please guide me!​

Answer 1

Answer:36

Step-by-step explanation: First, find the nearest square to the given number which is 8500. The nearest square is 92

Since, it is a square, therefore, number of slodiers in each side would be the same.

Soldiers left out = 8500 - (92*92)

                          = 8500 - 8464

                          = 36

36 soliders have been left out.
