If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in the field of vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2100.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 2100 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2100 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2100, whereas (2100)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √2100 ≈ 45.82576, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not typically used for non-perfect square numbers, where the long division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods: - Prime factorization method - Long division method - Approximation method
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2100 is broken down into its prime factors: Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2100 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 7: 2^2 x 3^1 x 5^2 x 7^1 Step 2: Now we found the prime factors of 2100. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2100 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be completely grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating √2100 using prime factorization is not straightforward.
The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. Let us now learn how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step: Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2100, we need to group it as 00 and 21. Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 21. We can say n as ‘4’ because 4 x 4 = 16, which is less than 21. Now the quotient is 4, and after subtracting 16 from 21, the remainder is 5. Step 3: Now let us bring down 00, making the new dividend 500. Add the old divisor with the same number to get 8, which will be our new divisor. Step 4: The new divisor is now 8n. We need to find n such that 8n x n ≤ 500. Step 5: Let n be 6, now 86 x 6 = 516, which is greater than 500, so we try n = 5. Step 6: 85 x 5 = 425. Subtract 425 from 500, and the difference is 75. The quotient is now 45. Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 7500. Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor. It is 901 because 901 x 1 = 901. Step 9: Subtracting 901 from 7500, we get the result 6599. Step 10: The quotient is 45.8. Step 11: Continue these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. If there is no decimal, continue till the remainder is zero. So the square root of √2100 is approximately 45.83.
The approximation method is another way to find square roots. It is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 2100 using the approximation method. Step 1: We have to find the closest perfect squares around √2100. The nearest perfect squares to 2100 are 2025 and 2116. √2100 falls somewhere between 45 and 46. Step 2: Now apply the formula: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (Larger perfect square - smaller perfect square) Using the formula (2100 - 2025) ÷ (2116 - 2025) = 75 ÷ 91 ≈ 0.82 Adding the initial value to the decimal, 45 + 0.82 = 45.82, so the square root of 2100 is approximately 45.82.
Students often make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root, skipping steps in long division, etc. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2100?
The area of the square is 2100 square units.
The area of the square = side^2. The side length is given as √2100. Area of the square = side^2 = √2100 x √2100 = 2100. Therefore, the area of the square box is 2100 square units.
A square-shaped garden measures 2100 square feet. If each side is √2100, what will be the square footage of half of the garden?
1050 square feet
Since the garden is square-shaped, dividing the given area by 2 gives us the area of half of the garden. Dividing 2100 by 2 = 1050. So, half of the garden measures 1050 square feet.
Calculate √2100 x 5.
229.13
The first step is to find the square root of 2100, which is approximately 45.82. The second step is to multiply 45.82 by 5. So, 45.82 x 5 = 229.13.
What will be the square root of (2100 - 100)?
The square root is 45.
To find the square root, we first calculate (2100 - 100). 2100 - 100 = 2000, and then √2000 ≈ 44.72 (which is approximately 45). Therefore, the square root of (2100 - 100) is approximately ±45.
Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2100 units and the width ‘w’ is 30 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 151.64 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√2100 + 30) = 2 × (45.82 + 30) = 2 × 75.82 = 151.64 units.
Square root: A square root is the inverse of a square. For example, 4^2 = 16, and the inverse of the square is the square root, that is, √16 = 4. Irrational number: An irrational number cannot be written in the form of p/q, where q is not equal to zero, and p and q are integers. Principal square root: A number has both positive and negative square roots; however, the positive square root is often used in real-world applications. This is the principal square root. Prime factorization: The process of breaking down a number into its basic prime number factors. For example, the prime factorization of 2100 is 2^2 x 3 x 5^2 x 7. Long division method: A technique used to find the square root of numbers, especially non-perfect squares, through a step-by-step division process.
