Multiple Choice

In a technical manual for land surveying, a technician is instructed to estimate the side length of a square plot by identifying the two numbers that the result falls between. When the area is not a perfect square, the manual states the estimate should be expressed using two numbers that follow each other in counting order (such as 8 and 9). What is the specific mathematical term for these two bounding numbers in the context of this estimation technique?
