What is the Square Root of 2916?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 2916 is a perfect square. The square root of 2916 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √2916, whereas (2916)^(1/2) in exponential form. √2916 = 54, which is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 2916

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 2916 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2916 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2916 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3: 2^2 x 3^6

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 2916. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2916 is a perfect square, therefore, the digits of the number can be grouped in pairs to get: √2916 = (2 x 3^3) = 54

Square Root of 2916 by Long Division Method

The long division method is also used for finding the square root of numbers. 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 2916, we need to group it as 29 and 16.

 

Step 2: Now, we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 29. We can say n as 5, because 5 x 5 = 25. Now the quotient is 5. After subtracting 25 from 29, the remainder is 4.

 

Step 3: Bring down 16 to make the new dividend 416. Add the old divisor with the same number 5 + 5 to get 10, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor is 10n. We need to find the value of n such that 10n x n is less than or equal to 416. Let n be 4, then 104 x 4 = 416. Step 5: Subtracting 416 from 416, we get the remainder 0.

 

The quotient is 54. So, the square root of √2916 is 54.

Square Root of 2916 by Approximation Method

Approximation method is another method for finding the 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 2916 using the approximation method. Since 2916 is a perfect square, it lies exactly between the perfect squares of 2809 (53^2) and 3025 (55^2). Therefore, √2916 = 54.

Forgetting about the negative square root

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to make students aware that a number does have both positive and negative square roots. However, we usually take only the positive square root, as it is the required one.

For example: √49 = 7, there is also -7 which should not be forgotten.

Square Root of 2916 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 √2916?

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

The area of the square is 2916 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √2916.

Area of the square = side^2 = √2916 x √2916 = 54 x 54 = 2916.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 2916 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 2916 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2916, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1458 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 2916 by 2, we get 1458.

So, half of the building measures 1458 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √2916 x 5.

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

270

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 2916, which is 54.

The second step is to multiply 54 by 5.

So, 54 x 5 = 270.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (2916 + 84)?

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

The square root is 55.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (2916 + 84).

2916 + 84 = 3000, and then √3000 ≈ 54.77.

For simplicity in this context, we're considering the nearest whole number, which is 55.

Therefore, the square root of (2916 + 84) is approximately ±55.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2916 units and the width ‘w’ is 20 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 148 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√2916 + 20)

= 2 × (54 + 20)

= 2 × 74

= 148 units.
