\(p^2 = 28r\)

Or, \(p = \sqrt{28r}\)

Or, \(p = \sqrt{2^2*7*r}\)

Now, the least value of \(r = 7\) to remove the square root.....

Or, \(p = \sqrt{2^2*7*7}\)

Or, \(p = \sqrt{2^2*7^2}\)

Or, \(p = 2*7\)

Or, \(p = 14\)


Hope this helps, feel free to revert in case of any doubt !!!

\(p^2 = 28r\)

=> \(p^2 = 2^2 * 7 * r\)

For perfect square, r must be 7.
