Square Root of 1400

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of squaring a number is finding its square root. Square roots are used in fields such as vehicle design, finance, and engineering. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1400.

What is the Square Root of 1400?

The square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number. 1400 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1400 can be expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √1400, whereas in exponential form, it is written as (1400)^(1/2). √1400 ≈ 37.41657, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 1400

The prime factorization method is useful for perfect squares. However, for non-perfect squares, the long division method and approximation method are used. Let's explore these methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 1400 by Prime Factorization Method

The prime factorization of a number is the product of prime factors. Let's break down 1400 into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Find the prime factors of 1400. Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7, which is 2^3 x 5^2 x 7.

 

Step 2: Now, pair the prime factors. Since 1400 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped into complete pairs.

 

Therefore, calculating √1400 using prime factorization gives an approximate answer.

Square Root of 1400 by Long Division Method

The long division method is used for non-perfect squares. Let's find the square root using this method step by step:

 

Step 1: Group the numbers from right to left. For 1400, group it as 14 and 00.

 

Step 2: Find a number whose square is less than or equal to 14. This number is 3, as 3 x 3 = 9. Subtract 9 from 14 to get a remainder of 5.

 

Step 3: Bring down the next pair of digits, 00, to make the new dividend 500.

 

Step 4: Double the previous quotient (3), resulting in 6, and determine a digit n such that 6n x n ≤ 500.

 

Step 5: Trying n = 8, we calculate 68 x 8 = 544, which is slightly more than 500. Try n = 7, which gives 67 x 7 = 469.

 

Step 6: Subtract 469 from 500 to get a remainder of 31. The quotient is now 37.

 

Step 7: Add a decimal point to the quotient and bring down two zeros to make the new dividend 3100. Step 8: Continue the process until you achieve the desired decimal places.

 

The square root of 1400 is approximately 37.41657.

Square Root of 1400 by Approximation Method

The approximation method provides an easy way to estimate the square root of a number. Here's how to find the square root of 1400 using this method:

 

Step 1: Identify the nearest perfect squares around 1400.

 

The closest perfect square less than 1400 is 1369, and the closest perfect square greater than 1400 is 1444. Therefore, √1400 is between 37 and 38.

 

Step 2: Use the formula (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square) to find the decimal part. Step 3: (1400 - 1369) / (1444 - 1369) = 31 / 75 ≈ 0.413 Add this decimal to the whole number part to get 37 + 0.413 = 37.413. So, the approximate square root of 1400 is 37.413.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It's important to remember that every positive number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we typically consider only the positive square root in practical applications.

For example: √50 = 7.07, but there is also -7.07, which should not be ignored conceptually.

Square Root of 1400 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1400?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The area of the square is approximately 1400 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square is calculated as side^2.

The side length is given as √1400.

Area of the square = (√1400) × (√1400) = 1400

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1400 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 1400 square feet is built; if each side is √1400, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

700 square feet

Explanation

We can divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 1400 by 2, we get 700.

So half of the building measures 700 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √1400 × 5.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

187.08

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 1400, which is approximately 37.41657.

The second step is to multiply 37.41657 by 5.

So, 37.41657 × 5 ≈ 187.08.

Problem 4

What is the square root of (1400 + 100)?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The square root is 40.

Explanation

To find the square root, first calculate the sum of (1400 + 100). 1400 + 100 = 1500, and then √1500 ≈ 38.72983.

For simplicity, rounding might suggest approximate solutions, so using nearby perfect squares for better approximation is advised.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1400 units and the width ‘w’ is 40 units.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 154.83 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Perimeter = 2 × (√1400 + 40) ≈ 2 × (37.41657 + 40) ≈ 2 × 77.41657 ≈ 154.83 units.
