Square Root of 3/7

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 various fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 3/7.

What is the Square Root of 3/7?

The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. The fraction 3/7 is not a perfect square. The square root of 3/7 can be expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √(3/7), whereas in the exponential form, it is (3/7)^(1/2). The square root of 3/7 is approximately 0.65465, 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 3/7

For non-perfect squares, methods such as the long division method and approximation method are used to find square roots. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 3/7 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect squares. In this method, we can find the square root of a fraction by finding the square roots of the numerator and denominator separately.

 

Step 1: Find the square root of the numerator 3 and the denominator 7 separately using the long division method.

 

Step 2: The approximate square root of 3 is 1.732, and the square root of 7 is 2.646.

 

Step 3: Divide the square root of the numerator by the square root of the denominator: 1.732 / 2.646 ≈ 0.65465.

 

So, the square root of 3/7 is approximately 0.65465.

Square Root of 3/7 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is an easy way to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 3/7 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Estimate the square root of the numerator 3, which is between 1 and 2. Similarly, estimate the square root of the denominator 7, which is between 2 and 3.

 

Step 2: Use the approximation formula to adjust the estimates and divide them to get the square root of the fraction. By approximation, √3 ≈ 1.732 and √7 ≈ 2.646, so √(3/7) ≈ 0.65465.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to remember that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we generally take only the positive square root in practical applications.

For example, √(3/7) = ±0.65465, but we typically use the positive value.

Square Root of 3/7 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √(3/7)?

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

The area of the square is approximately 0.428 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √(3/7).

Area of the square = (√(3/7))^2

= 3/7

≈ 0.428.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 0.428 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped garden has an area of 3/7 square meters. If each of the sides is √(3/7), what will be the area of half of the garden?

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

0.214 square meters

Explanation

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

Dividing 3/7 by 2, we get 3/14 ≈ 0.214.

So half of the garden measures approximately 0.214 square meters.

Problem 3

Calculate √(3/7) x 5.

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

Approximately 3.27325

Explanation

First, find the square root of 3/7, which is approximately 0.65465.

Then multiply it by 5. So, 0.65465 x 5 ≈ 3.27325.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (3/7 + 1)?

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

The square root is approximately 1.1547

Explanation

To find the square root, first find the sum of (3/7 + 1).

3/7 + 1 = 10/7.

Then √(10/7) ≈ 1.1547.

Therefore, the square root of (3/7 + 1) is approximately ±1.1547.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length 'l' is √(3/7) units and the width 'w' is 2 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 5.3093 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√(3/7) + 2)

≈ 2 × (0.65465 + 2)

= 2 × 2.65465

≈ 5.3093 units.
