No, it's not.
No number times itself can equal 26.
A perfect square example is 36, where 6 and 6 multiplied by each other can equal, you know, 36.
26 is not a perfect square because it cannot be expressed as the square of an integer. The square root of 26 is approximately 5.099, which shows that it falls between the perfect squares of 5 (25) and 6 (36). Therefore, 26 does not qualify as a perfect square.
