Answer: 64
Step-by-step explanation:
39*39 = 1521
40*40 = 1600
1536 lies between 1521 and 1600
so 1600 - 1536 = 64

Answer:
The 1536 cadets cannot have a parade forming a square design. We need 64 more cadets to make this possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write 1536 as a product of its prime factors to determine whether it is a perfect square.
1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
= 2⁹ × 3
Both the powers of 3 and 2 are not even. So, the number is not a perfect square, and that means the cadets can't have a parade forming a square design.
The nearest perfect square is 1600
So, we need:
1600 - 1536 = 64 more cadets to have a parade forming a square design.
