The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In this topic, we will discuss the square of 485.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 485 is 485 × 485.
The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
We write it in math as 485², where 485 is the base and 2 is the exponent.
The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive. For example, 5² = 25; -5² = 25.
The square of 485 is 485 × 485 = 235,225.
Square of 485 in exponential form: 485²
Square of 485 in arithmetic form: 485 × 485
The square of a number is multiplying the number by itself. So let’s learn how to find the square of a number. These are the common methods used to find the square of a number.
In this method, we will multiply the number by itself to find the square. The product here is the square of the number. Let’s find the square of 485.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 485.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 485 × 485 = 235,225.
The square of 485 is 235,225.
In this method, the formula, a², is used to find the square of the number, where a is the number.
Step 1: Understanding the equation Square of a number = a²
a² = a × a
Step 2: Identifying the number and substituting the value in the equation.
Here, ‘a’ is 485.
So: 485² = 485 × 485 = 235,225
Using a calculator to find the square of a number is the easiest method. Let’s learn how to use a calculator to find the square of 485.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 485 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 485 × 485.
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 485 is 235,225.
Tips and tricks make it easy for students to understand and learn the square of a number. To master the square of a number, these tips and tricks will help students.
Mistakes are common among kids when doing math, especially when it is finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 235,225 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 235,225 cm²
So, the length = √235,225 = 485.
The length of each side = 485 cm
The length of a square is 485 cm.
Because the area is 235,225 cm², the length is √235,225 = 485.
Sarah wants to cover her square garden of length 485 feet with tiles. The cost to cover a square foot is 10 dollars. How much will it cost to cover the full garden?
The length of the garden = 485 feet
The cost to cover 1 square foot of the garden = 10 dollars.
To find the total cost to cover, we find the area of the garden.
Area of the garden = area of the square = a²
Here a = 485
Therefore, the area of the garden = 485² = 485 × 485 = 235,225.
The cost to cover the garden = 235,225 × 10 = 2,352,250.
The total cost = 2,352,250 dollars.
To find the cost to cover the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to cover per foot. So, the total cost is 2,352,250 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 485 meters.
The area of the circle = 739,198.45 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 485
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 485² = 3.14 × 485 × 485 = 739,198.45 m².
The area of the square is 235,225 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 235,225 cm²
The length of the side is √235,225 = 485
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 485
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 485 = 1,940.
Find the square of 486.
The square of 486 is 236,196.
The square of 486 is multiplying 486 by 486.
So, the square = 486 × 486 = 236,196.
