(iii) 11025
(iv) 1176
(v) 5625
(vi) 9075
(vii) 4225
(viii) 1089

A perfect square can always be expressed as a product of equal factors.

(i)
Resolving into prime factors:
$441=49×9=7×7×3×3=7×3×7×3=21×21=\left(21{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 441 is a perfect square.

(ii)
Resolving into prime factors:
$576=64×9=8×8×3×3=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3=24×24=\left(24{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 576 is a perfect square.

(iii)
Resolving into prime factors:
$11025=441×25=49×9×5×5=7×7×3×3×5×5=7×5×3×7×5×3=105×105=\left(105{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 11025 is a perfect square.

(iv)
Resolving into prime factors:
$1176=7×168=7×21×8=7×7×3×2×2×2$

1176 cannot be expressed as a product of two equal numbers. Thus, 1176 is not a perfect square.

(v)
Resolving into prime factors:
$5625=225×25=9×25×25=3×3×5×5×5×5=3×5×5×3×5×5=75×75=\left(75{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 5625 is a perfect square.

(vi)
Resolving into prime factors:
$9075=25×363=5×5×3×11×11=55×55×3$

9075 is not a product of two equal numbers. Thus, 9075 is not a perfect square.

(vii)
Resolving into prime factors:
$4225=25×169=5×5×13×13=5×13×5×13=65×65=\left(65{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 4225 is a perfect square.

(viii)
Resolving into prime factors:
$1089=9×121=3×3×11×11=3×11×3×11=33×33=\left(33{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 1089 is a perfect square.

A perfect square is a product of two perfectly equal numbers.

(i)
Resolving into prime factors:

$1225=25×49=5×5×7×7=5×7×5×7=35×35=\left(35{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 1225 is the perfect square of 35.

(ii)
Resolving into prime factors:
$2601=9×289=3×3×17×17=3×17×3×17=51×51=\left(51{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 2601 is the perfect square of 51.

(iii)
Resolving into prime factors:

$5929=11×539=11×7×77=11×7×11×7=77×77=\left(77{\right)}^{2}$

Thus, 5929 is the perfect square of 77.
