What is the difference between a perfect and non perfect square number

The video tutorial explains the concept of perfect and non-perfect squares. It begins by defining a perfect square and provides examples using areas of squares and rectangles. The tutorial then contrasts perfect squares with non-perfect squares, using numbers like 5 and 17 to illustrate the differences. The importance of understanding these concepts is highlighted, and the video concludes with a preview of future learning on simplifying and estimating non-perfect squares.
