Two consecutive whole number that lies between the square root of 38

√38

Let's name all the squares.

1² = 1 x 1 = 1

2² = 2 x 2 = 4

3² = 3 x 3 = 9

4² = 4 x 4 = 16

5² = 5 x 5 = 25

6² = 6 x 6 = 36

7² = 7 x 7 = 49

8² = 8 x 8 = 64

Okay that's far enough. Now we look for which numbers 38 is in between.

That would be 36 and 49.

But it's asking for where the square root of 38 is, so √36 and √49 ⇒ 6 and 7.
