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 1037.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1037 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1037 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1037, whereas (1037)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √1037 ≈ 32.2182, 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.
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:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1037 is broken down into its prime factors.
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1037 Breaking it down, we find that 1037 is already a prime number. Thus, it cannot be simplified further into other prime factors.
Since 1037 is not a perfect square, calculating its square root using prime factorization is not feasible.
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 1037, we need to group it as 37 and 10.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is closest to 10. We can say n is '3' because 3×3 = 9 is lesser than 10. Now the quotient is 3, and after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.
Step 3: Now let us bring down 37, making the new dividend 137. Add the old divisor with the same number: 3+3=6, which will be our new divisor.
Step 4: The new divisor is 6n. We need to find n such that 6n × n ≤ 137. Let us consider n as 2, now 62×2 = 124.
Step 5: Subtract 124 from 137, the difference is 13, and the quotient is 32.
Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 1300.
Step 7: Now we need to find the new divisor, which is 644 because 644×2 = 1288.
Step 8: Subtracting 1288 from 1300, we get the result of 12.
Step 9: The quotient now is 32.2.
Step 10: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there is no decimal value, continue until the remainder is zero.
So the square root of √1037 is approximately 32.218.
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 1037 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares of √1037. The smallest perfect square less than 1037 is 1024, and the largest perfect square greater than 1037 is 1089. √1037 falls somewhere between 32 and 33.
Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula: (1037 - 1024) / (1089 - 1024) = 13 / 65 ≈ 0.2 Using the formula, we identified the decimal point of our square root. Adding this to the initial value, we get 32 + 0.2 = 32.2.
Therefore, the square root of 1037 is approximately 32.218.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, like forgetting about the negative square root or skipping the long division methods. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1037?
The area of the square is approximately 1037 square units.
The area of the square = side^2.
The side length is given as √1037.
Area of the square = side^2
= √1037 × √1037
≈ 1037
Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1037 square units.
A square-shaped garden measuring 1037 square meters is built. If each of the sides is √1037, what will be the square meters of half of the garden?
518.5 square meters
We can divide the given area by 2 as the garden is square-shaped. Dividing 1037 by 2 = 518.5 So half of the garden measures 518.5 square meters.
Calculate √1037 × 5.
Approximately 161.091
The first step is to find the square root of 1037, which is approximately 32.218.
The second step is to multiply 32.218 by 5.
So 32.218 × 5 ≈ 161.091
What will be the square root of (1037 + 13)?
The square root is approximately 32.496
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (1037 + 13).
1037 + 13 = 1050, and then √1050 ≈ 32.496.
Therefore, the square root of (1037 + 13) is approximately ±32.496.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length 'l' is √1037 units and the width 'w' is 40 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 144.436 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 × (√1037 + 40)
≈ 2 × (32.218 + 40)
= 2 × 72.218
= 144.436 units.
