Square Root Distance from Integers
$begingroup$
Given a decimal number k
, find the smallest integer n
such that the square root of n
is within k
of an integer. However, the distance should be nonzero - n
cannot be a perfect square.
Given k
, a decimal number or a fraction (whichever is easier for you), such that 0 < k < 1
, output the smallest positive integer n
such that the difference between the square root of n
and the closest integer to the square root of n
is less than or equal to k
but nonzero.
If i
is the closest integer to the square root of n
, you are looking for the first n
where 0 < |i - sqrt(n)| <= k
.
Rules
- You cannot use a language's insufficient implementation of non-integer numbers to trivialize the problem.
- Otherwise, you can assume that
k
will not cause problems with, for example, floating point rounding.
Test Cases

.005 > 10001
.003 > 27888
.001 > 250001
.0005 > 1000001
.0003 > 2778888
.0001 > 25000001
.0314159 > 255
.00314159 > 25599
.000314159 > 2534463
Comma separated test case inputs:
0.9, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.03, 0.01, 0.005, 0.003, 0.001, 0.0005, 0.0003, 0.0001, 0.0314159, 0.00314159, 0.000314159
This is code-golf, so shortest answer in bytes wins.

Or for 55 bytes:

Try it online!
(but this one is significantly slower)

If this is an answer to a challenge…
…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one.
Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.
More generally…
…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).
