(–1) = 1. Is –1, a square root of 1?
(–2)2 = 4. Is –2, a square root of 4?
(–9)2 = 81. Is –9, a square root of 81?
By repeated subtraction of odd numbers starting from 1, find whether the following numbers are perfect squares or not? If the number is a perfect square, then find its square root.
(i) 121 (ii) 55 (iii) 36
(iv) 49 (v) 90
What could be the possible ‘one’s’ digits of the square root of each of the following numbers?
(i) 9801 (ii) 99856 (iii) 998001 (iv) 657666025
Without doing any calculation, find the numbers which are surely not perfect squares.
(i) 152 (ii) 257 (iii) 408 (iv) 441
Can we say that if a perfect square is of n-digits, then its square root will have digits if n is even of if n is odd?
Yes it is true that,
Number of digit of the perfect square n
Number of digits of the square root (when 'n' is even)
Number of digit of the perfect square n
Number of digits of the square root (when 'n' is odd)
Example 529 (is perfect square) and n = 3 (even number)
∴ Number of digits if its square root =
= = 2
Also, square root of 529 = 23 (2-digits).
1296 (is perfect square) and n = 4 (even number)
∴ Number of digits of its square root =
= = 2
Now = 36 (2-digits)
Without calculating square roots, find the number of digits in the square root of the following numbers.
(i) 25600 (ii) 100000000 (iii) 36864
Find the number of digits in the square root of each of the following numbers (without any calculation).
(i) 64 (ii) 144 (iii) 4489
(iv) 27225 (v) 390625
