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 1872.

So: 1872² = 1872 × 1872 = 3,504,384

Problem 1

Find the length of a square, where the area of the square is 3,504,384 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of a square = 3,504,384 cm²

 

So, the length = √3,504,384 = 1872.

 

The length of each side = 1872 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 1872 cm.

 

Because the area is 3,504,384 cm², the length is √3,504,384 = 1872.

Problem 2

A farmer wants to fence a square plot of land with a side length of 1872 meters. How much fencing material will he need if each meter costs 5 dollars?

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

The length of each side of the plot = 1872 meters

 

To find the total perimeter, we use the formula for the perimeter of a square:

 

Perimeter = 4a Here a = 1872

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 1872 = 7,488 meters.

 

The cost of fencing = 7,488 × 5 = 37,440 dollars.

 

The total cost = 37,440 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost of fencing the plot, we multiply the perimeter of the plot by the cost per meter.

 

So, the total cost is 37,440 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 1872 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 11,021,924.16 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 1872

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 1872² = 3.14 × 1872 × 1872 = 11,021,924.16 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 3,504,384 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 7,488 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 3,504,384 cm²

 

The length of the side is √3,504,384 = 1872

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 1872

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 1872 = 7,488 cm.
