What is the Square of 321

The square of a number is the product of the number itself.

 

The square of 321 is 321 × 321.

 

The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.

 

We write it in math as 321², where 321 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 321 is 321 × 321 = 103041.

 

Square of 321 in exponential form: 321²

 

Square of 321 in arithmetic form: 321 × 321

By the Multiplication method

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 321.

 

Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 321.

 

Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 321 × 321 = 103041.

 

The square of 321 is 103041.

Using a Formula (a²)

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 321

So: 321² = 321 × 321 = 103041

By Using a Calculator

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 321.

 

Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 321 in the calculator.

 

Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 321 × 321

 

Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 321 is 103041.

 

Tips and Tricks for the Square of 321

 

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 103041 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of a square = 103041 cm²

 

So, the length = √103041 = 321.

 

The length of each side = 321 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 321 cm.

 

Because the area is 103041 cm², the length is √103041 = 321.

Problem 2

Anna is planning to decorate her square garden of length 321 feet. The cost to decorate a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to decorate the full garden?

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

The length of the garden = 321 feet

 

The cost to decorate 1 square foot of garden = 5 dollars.

 

To find the total cost to decorate, we find the area of the garden.

 

Area of the garden = area of the square = a²

 

Here a = 321

 

Therefore, the area of the garden = 321² = 321 × 321 = 103041.

 

The cost to decorate the garden = 103041 × 5 = 515205.

 

The total cost = 515205 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to decorate the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to decorate per foot. So, the total cost is 515205 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 321 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 323,686.17 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 321

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 321² = 3.14 × 321 × 321 = 323,686.17 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 103041 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 1284 cm

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 103041 cm²

 

The length of the side is √103041 = 321

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 321

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 321 = 1284 cm.

Problem 5

Find the square of 322.

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

The square of 322 is 103684

Explanation

The square of 322 is multiplying 322 by 322.

 

So, the square = 322 × 322 = 103684
