PROBLEMS ON SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS

Problem 1 :

Write the first five square numbers.

Solution :

So, the first five square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25

Problem 2 :

The Square of 5.5 is   

Solution :

(5.5)²  =  (5.5) × (5.5)

=  30.25

Problem 3 :

The Square of 0.7 is

Solution :

(0.7)²  =  (0.7) × (0.7)

=  0.49

Problem 4 :

The Square of 500 will have _----------- zeroes.

Solution :

(500)²  =  (500) × (500)

=  250000

So, the Square of 500 has 4 zeroes.

Problem 5 :

The Square root of 24025 will have _--------- digits.

Solution :

Given, 24025

Number of digits  =  5 (odd)  = n

Number of digits  in the Square root =  (n + 1)/2

=  (5 + 1)/2

=  6/2

= 3

So, The Square root of 24025 has 3 digits.

Problem 6 :

Show that 500 is not a perfect square

Solution :

Using prime factorization method :

500  =  √(5 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2)

Since there are not grouped in identical pairs, 500 is not a perfect square.

Problem 7 :

The digit at the ones place of 57² is               

Solution :

57²  =  57 x 57

=  3249

So, the digit at the ones place of 57² is 9.

Problem 8 :

There are _------- perfect squares between 1 and 100.

Solution :

The perfect squares between 1 and 100 is 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, and 81.

So, there are 8 perfect squares between 1 and 100.

Problem 9 :

The units digit in the square of 1294 is              

Solution :

By using the property of square numbers,

If a number has 4 or 6 in the unit's place then its square ends in 6.

1294  =  4²  =  16

So, the  units digit in the square of 1294 is always end with 6.

Problem 10 :

Check whether 90 is a perfect square or not by using prime factorization.

Solution :

Using prime factorization method :

90  =  √(2 × 3 × 3 × 5)

Since there are not grouped in identical pairs, 90 is not a perfect square.

Problem 11 :

Using prime factorization, find the square roots of 11025

Solution :

Decompose 11025 into prime factors using synthetic division.

The square root of 11025  =  √(5 × 5 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 3)

Inside the radical sign, if the same number is repeated twice, take one number out of the radical sign.

  =  5 × 3 × 7

  =  105

So, the square root of 11025 is 105.

Problem 12 :

Using prime factorization, find the square roots of 4761

Solution :

Decompose 4761 into prime factors using synthetic division.

The square root of 4761  =  √(3 × 3 × 23 × 23)

Inside the radical sign, if the same number is repeated twice, take one number out of the radical sign.

=  3 × 23

=  69

So, the square root of 4761 is 69.

Problem 13 :

Find the least number of four digits that is a perfect square.

Solution :

The least number of four digits is 1000.

Using Long Division Method :

(32)² is more than 1000 by 24.

So, the least number to be added to 1000 is 24.

1000 + 24 =  1024

Therefore, the smallest four digit perfect square number is 1024.

Problem 14 :

Find the greatest number of three digits that is a perfect square.

Solution :

The Greatest number of three digits is 999.

Using Long Division Method :

Since 999 is not a perfect square, now to find the largest 3 digits perfect square number subtract 38 from 999.

Required number  =   999 - 38

=  961

So, the greatest three digit perfect square number is 961.

Problem 15 :

Find the smallest perfect square divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Solution :

We are taking the  Least Common Multiple of 3, 4, 5 and 6

LCM of (3, 4, 5, 6)  =  2 × 2 × 3 × 5  

LCM  =  60

Since 3 and 5 are not identical pairs, we should multiple 3 and 5 by 60.

That is,

=  60 × 3 × 5

=  900

So, the required perfect square is 900
