Square Root of 1049

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by the same number, 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 1049.

What is the Square Root of 1049?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1049 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1049 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1049, whereas 1049^(1/2) in the exponential form. √1049 ≈ 32.407, 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.

Finding the Square Root of 1049

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 1049 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1049 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1049. Since 1049 is a prime number itself, it cannot be broken down into smaller prime factors other than 1049 and 1.

 

Step 2: Since 1049 is not a perfect square, therefore, calculating 1049 using prime factorization to find its square root directly is not feasible.

Square Root of 1049 by Long Division Method

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: Group the digits in pairs from right to left. In the case of 1049, it is already a four-digit number, so we consider it as 10|49.

 

Step 2: Find a number whose square is less than or equal to the first group (10). The number is 3 because 3^2 = 9.

 

Step 3: Subtract 9 from 10, leaving a remainder of 1. Bring down the next group of digits (49) to make the new dividend 149.

 

Step 4: The new divisor is twice the current quotient (3), which gives us 6. We need to find a digit n such that 6n × n ≤ 149.

 

Step 5: n = 2 fits because 62 × 2 = 124.

 

Step 6: Subtract 124 from 149 to get a remainder of 25. Now, bring down double zeros to make it 2500.

 

Step 7: Continue this process to find the next digits of the square root, adding a decimal point as necessary.

 

After several iterations, the square root of 1049 is approximately 32.407.

Square Root of 1049 by Approximation Method

The 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 1049 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares around 1049. The closest perfect square less than 1049 is 1024 (32^2), and the one greater is 1089 (33^2).

 

Step 2: Since 1049 is closer to 1024, we estimate that the square root of 1049 is slightly more than 32 but less than 33. Using linear approximation, we can find a more precise value.

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 typically focus on the positive square root in practical applications.

For example, √1049 ≈ 32.407, but there is also -32.407, which should not be ignored in theoretical contexts.

Square Root of 1049 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 √1049?

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

The area of the square is approximately 1049 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √1049.

Area of the square = side²

= (√1049) × (√1049)

= 1049.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1049 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 1049 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √1049, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

524.5 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 1049 by 2 gives us 524.5.

So half of the building measures 524.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √1049 × 5.

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

Approximately 162.035

Explanation

First, find the square root of 1049, which is approximately 32.407.

Then, multiply 32.407 by 5. So, 32.407 × 5 ≈ 162.035.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (1000 + 49)?

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

The square root is approximately 32.407.

Explanation

To find the square root, calculate the sum of (1000 + 49) which equals 1049.

Then, the square root of 1049 is approximately 32.407.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length 'l' is √1049 units and the width 'w' is 38 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 140.814 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√1049 + 38)

≈ 2 × (32.407 + 38)

= 2 × 70.407

= 140.814 units.
