Square Root of 8825

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by itself, 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 8825.

What is the Square Root of 8825?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 8825 is not a perfect square. The square root of 8825 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √8825, whereas in the exponential form it is expressed as 8825^(1/2). √8825 ≈ 93.9685, 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 8825

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, the long division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn about the following methods: 

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 8825 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 8825 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 8825

 

Breaking it down, we get 5 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 19: 5^2 x 7 x 13 x 19

 

Step 2: Now we have found the prime factors of 8825. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 8825 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be completely grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating √8825 using prime factorization is not straightforward.

Square Root of 8825 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 8825, we need to group it as 88 and 25.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 88. We can say n is ‘9’ because 9 x 9 = 81 which is less than 88. Now the quotient is 9, after subtracting 81 from 88, the remainder is 7.

 

Step 3: Now let us bring down 25, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number (9 + 9) to get 18, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be 18_, and we need to find the value of n.

 

Step 5: The next step is finding 18n x n ≤ 725. Let us consider n as 4. Now, 184 x 4 = 736, which exceeds 725. Try n as 3. Now 183 x 3 = 549 which is less than 725.

 

Step 6: Subtract 549 from 725, the difference is 176, and the quotient is 93.

 

Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeros to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 17600.

 

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor, which is 939. We need to find n such that 939n x n is closest to 17600.

 

Step 9: Continuing this process will give us the approximate value of the square root of 8825.

Square Root of 8825 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding square roots. It is an easy method to estimate the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 8825 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect squares around √8825. The smallest perfect square less than 8825 is 8836, and the largest perfect square greater than 8825 is 8712. Therefore, √8825 falls somewhere between 93 and 94.

 

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square) Going by the formula, (8825 - 8649) / (8836 - 8649) = 0.9685

 

Using the formula, we identified the decimal point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number, which is 93 + 0.9685 = 93.9685. Thus, the square root of 8825 is approximately 93.9685.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to make students aware that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we generally consider only the positive square root, as it is the required one in most practical scenarios.

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

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √8825?

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

The area of the square is 8825 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √8825.

Area of the square = (√8825)^2 = 8825.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 8825 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 8825 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √8825, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

4412.5 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 8825 by 2 = 4412.5.

So half of the building measures 4412.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √8825 x 5.

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

469.8425

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 8825, which is approximately 93.9685.

The second step is to multiply 93.9685 by 5.

So, 93.9685 x 5 ≈ 469.8425.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (8825 + 25)?

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

The square root is 95.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (8825 + 25). 8825 + 25 = 8850, and then √8850 ≈ 94.12.

Therefore, the square root of (8825 + 25) is approximately 94.12.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √8825 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 387.937 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√8825 + 50) = 2 × (93.9685 + 50) ≈ 2 × 143.9685 = 287.937 units.
