What is the Square of 118

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

 

The square of 118 is 118 × 118.

 

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

 

We write it in math as 118², where 118 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 118 is 118 × 118 = 13,924.

 

Square of 118 in exponential form: 118²

 

Square of 118 in arithmetic form: 118 × 118

By the Multiplication Method

In this method, we multiply the number by itself to find the square. The product here is the square of the number. Let’s find the square of 118.

 

Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 118.

 

Step 2: Multiply the number by itself, we get, 118 × 118 = 13,924.

 

The square of 118 is 13,924.

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 118.

So: 118² = 118 × 118 = 13,924

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 118.

 

Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 118 in the calculator.

 

Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 118 × 118.

 

Step 3: Press the equal button to find the answer. Here, the square of 118 is 13,924.

 

Tips and Tricks for the Square of 118

 

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.

Solved Examples on Square of 118

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

A painting is in the shape of a square and has an area of 13,924 square inches. Find the length of one side of the painting.

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of the square = 13,924 square inches

 

The length is √13,924 = 118 inches.

 

The length of each side is 118 inches.

Explanation

The length of a side of the square painting is 118 inches because the area is 13,924 square inches and the length is √13,924 = 118.

Problem 2

Emma wants to place tiles on her square-shaped garden, each tile costing 4 dollars. The side length of the garden is 118 meters. How much will it cost to tile the entire garden?

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

The length of the garden = 118 meters

 

The cost to tile 1 square meter of the garden = 4 dollars.

 

To find the total cost, we find the area of the garden:

 

Area of the garden = area of the square = a²

 

Here a = 118 Therefore, the area of the garden = 118² = 118 × 118 = 13,924.

 

The cost to tile the garden = 13,924 × 4 = 55,696 dollars.

 

The total cost = 55,696 dollars.

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to tile per square meter. So, the total cost is 55,696 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 118 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 43,721.48 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 118

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 118² = 3.14 × 118 × 118 = 43,721.48 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 13,924 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 472 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 13,924 cm²

 

The length of the side is √13,924 = 118

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 118

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 118 = 472 cm.

Problem 5

Find the square of 119.

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

The square of 119 is 14,161.

Explanation

The square of 119 is multiplying 119 by 119.

 

So, the square = 119 × 119 = 14,161.
