Answer:
a). 9
b). 9
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 1098, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 1098 (that will make it 1089), it will make a perfect square.
√1089 = 33
33² = 33 × 33 = 1089
So the answer is 9.
b). If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 4498, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 4498 (that will make it 4489), it will make a perfect square.
√4489 = 67
67² = 67 × 67 = 4489
So the answer is 9.
