Tips and Tricks for the Square of 124 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. The square of an even number is always an even number. For example, 6² = 36. The square of an odd number is always an odd number. For example, 5² = 25. The last digit of the square of a number is always 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. If the square root of a number is a fraction or a decimal, then the number is not a perfect square. For example, √1.44 = 1.2. The square root of a perfect square is always a whole number. For example, √144 = 12.

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 15376 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 15376 cm² So, the length = √15376 = 124. The length of each side = 124 cm.

Explanation

The length of a square is 124 cm. Because the area is 15376 cm², the length is √15376 = 124.

Problem 2

Anna is planning to carpet her square living room of length 124 feet. The cost to carpet a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to carpet the full room?

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

The length of the room = 124 feet.

The cost to carpet 1 square foot of room = 5 dollars.

To find the total cost to carpet, we find the area of the room,

Area of the room = area of the square = a²

Here a = 124

Therefore, the area of the room = 124² = 124 × 124 = 15376.

The cost to carpet the room = 15376 × 5 = 76880.

The total cost = 76880 dollars.

Explanation

To find the cost to carpet the room, we multiply the area of the room by cost to carpet per foot.

So, the total cost is 76880 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 124 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 48285.76 m².

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 124

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 124²

= 3.14 × 124 × 124

= 48285.76 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 15376 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 496 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 15376 cm²

The length of the side is √15376 = 124

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 124

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 124 = 496.

Problem 5

Find the square of 125.

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

The square of 125 is 15625.

Explanation

The square of 125 is multiplying 125 by 125.

So, the square = 125 × 125 = 15625.
