The value of $\sqrt{73}$ is between two positive, consecutive integers. What is the product of these two integers?
I need to find two positive, consecutive integers that $\sqrt{73}$ lies between. One way to do this is to try squaring some integers and see how they compare to 73. For example, $8^2 = 64$ and $9^2 = 81$, so $\sqrt{73}$ must be between 8 and 9. Therefore, the product of these two integers is 8 times 9, which is 72.
