Answer 2

14 must be added.

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find the number that should be added, first find the square root of 3350.
• The square root of 3350 is 57.88.
• It means that if we take the square of 57, it would be less than the number 3350.
• And if we take the square of 58, it would be a value higher than 58.
• Thus, the square of 58 is 3364.
• Hence, the number to be added to 3350 would be the difference between 3364 and 3350.
• That is $3364-3350 = 14$
• Hence, 14 must be added to 3350.
