Square Root of 4176

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 fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 4176.

What is the Square Root of 4176?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 4176 is not a perfect square. The square root of 4176 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √4176, whereas (4176)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √4176 ≈ 64.634, 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 4176

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:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 4176 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 4176 is broken down into its prime factors

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 4176 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 29: 2^4 x 3^2 x 29

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 4176. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 4176 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs completely.

 

Therefore, calculating √4176 using prime factorization directly is not applicable.

Square Root of 4176 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. 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 4176, we need to consider it as 41 and 76.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 41. We can say n as 6 because 6 x 6 = 36 is less than 41. Now the quotient is 6, and after subtracting 36 from 41, the remainder is 5.

 

Step 3: Now let us bring down 76, making the new dividend 576. Add the old divisor (6) with itself to get 12, which becomes part of our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be 12n. We need to find n such that 12n x n ≤ 576. Let n be 4, then 124 x 4 = 496.

 

Step 5: Subtract 496 from 576, the difference is 80, and the quotient becomes 64.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, add a decimal point, allowing us to bring down zero pairs. Now the new dividend is 8000.

 

Step 7: The new divisor is 128, and we need to find n such that 128n x n ≤ 8000. Let n be 6, then 1286 x 6 = 7716.

 

Step 8: Subtracting 7716 from 8000 gives 284, and the quotient is 64.6.

 

Step 9: Continue these steps until we have the desired precision after the decimal point.

 

So the square root of √4176 is approximately 64.634.

Square Root of 4176 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another way to find 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 4176 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares around 4176. The closest perfect squares are 4096 (64^2) and 4225 (65^2). Therefore, √4176 falls between 64 and 65.

 

Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smaller perfect square) ÷ (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square). Using this formula: (4176 - 4096) ÷ (4225 - 4096) = 80 ÷ 129 ≈ 0.62 Adding this value to the smaller perfect square root: 64 + 0.62 = 64.62

 

So, the approximate square root of 4176 is 64.62.

Forgetting about the negative square root

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 typically use only the positive square root as it is often the required one.

For example: √50 = 7.07, but there is also -7.07 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 √4176?

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

The area of the square is approximately 4176 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √4176.

Area = (√4176)² = 4176.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 4176 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped plot measuring 4176 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √4176, what will be the square footage of half of the plot?

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

2088 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 4176 by 2 gives us 2088.

So half of the plot measures 2088 square feet.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (4176 + 49)?

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

The square root is approximately 66.

Explanation

First, find the sum of (4176 + 49) = 4225.

The square root of 4225 is 65.

Therefore, the square root of (4176 + 49) is ±65.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √4176 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 229.27 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√4176 + 50)

≈ 2 × (64.634 + 50)

≈ 2 × 114.634

≈ 229.27 units.
