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)
