Square Root of 758

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 758.

What is the Square Root of 758?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 758 is not a perfect square. The square root of 758 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √758, whereas (758)^(1/2) in exponential form. √758 ≈ 27.527, 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 758

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

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 758 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 758 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 758 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 379: 2^1 x 379^1.

 

Step 2: Now we found the prime factors of 758. Since 758 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs.

 

Therefore, calculating 758 using prime factorization is not straightforward for finding the square root.

Square Root of 758 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: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 758, we need to group it as 58 and 7.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤ 7. We can say n is ‘2’ because 2 x 2 = 4, which is less than 7. The quotient is 2 and the remainder is 3 after subtracting 4 from 7.

 

Step 3: Bring down 58, making the new dividend 358. Add the old divisor with the same number: 2 + 2 = 4, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor is 4n. We need to find the value of n such that 4n x n ≤ 358. Let us consider n as 8, now 48 x 8 = 384, which is more than 358, so n = 7.

 

Step 5: 47 x 7 = 329. Subtract 329 from 358 to get 29.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. The new dividend is 2900.

 

Step 7: Find the new divisor. If n = 5, 545 x 5 = 2725.

 

Step 8: Subtract 2725 from 2900 to get 175.

 

Step 9: Continue these steps to get more decimal places.

 

The square root of √758 is approximately 27.53.

Square Root of 758 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding 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 758 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares around √758.

 

The smallest perfect square less than 758 is 729, and the largest perfect square greater than 758 is 784. √758 falls between 27 (√729) and 28 (√784).

 

Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square).

 

Using the formula (758 - 729) / (784 - 729) ≈ 0.527. Add this to 27 to approximate the square root: 27 + 0.527 = 27.527.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to remind students that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we typically consider only the positive square root.

For example, √50 ≈ 7.071, but there is also -7.071, which should not be forgotten.

Square Root of 758 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 √758?

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

The area of the square is approximately 574.284 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √758.

Area of the square = side² = √758 x √758 = 27.527 x 27.527 ≈ 758.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 758 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 758 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √758, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

379 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 758 by 2 gives us 379.

So half of the building measures 379 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √758 x 5.

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

Approximately 137.635

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 758, which is approximately 27.527.

The second step is to multiply 27.527 with 5.

So 27.527 x 5 ≈ 137.635.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (758 + 10)?

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

The square root is approximately 27.856.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (758 + 10). 758 + 10 = 768, and then √768 ≈ 27.720.

Therefore, the square root of (758 + 10) is ±27.720.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √758 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 131.054 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√758 + 38) = 2 × (27.527 + 38) ≈ 2 × 65.527 = 131.054 units.
