32²  =  1024

But, if you meant √(32), this can be done two ways:

   ---   first, using a calculator:  √(32)  ≈  5.65685, so, rounded to the nearest whole number  ≈  6

   ---  second way, without a calculator:  5² = 25 (too small)   and  6² = 36 (too large), but 32 is closer to 36              than it is to 25, so choose 6 (but this can get tricky)
