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 and finance. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2250.
The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 2250 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2250 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2250, whereas in exponential form it is (2250)^(1/2). √2250 ≈ 47.4342, 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 typically used for non-perfect square numbers, where long division and approximation methods are more suitable. 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 2250 is broken down into its prime factors:
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2250 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5: 2^1 x 3^2 x 5^3
Step 2: Now we have found the prime factors of 2250. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2250 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be completely grouped in pairs.
Therefore, calculating √2250 using prime factorization directly is impractical.
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 2250, we group it as 50 and 22.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 22. We can say n as ‘4’ because 4 x 4 = 16, which is less than 22. Now the quotient is 4, and after subtracting 16 from 22, the remainder is 6.
Step 3: Now let us bring down 50, making the new dividend 650. Add the old divisor with the same number 4 + 4 to get 8, which will be our new divisor.
Step 4: The new divisor will be 8n. We need to find the value of n where 8n x n ≤ 650. Let's consider n as 7; now, 87 x 7 = 609.
Step 5: Subtract 609 from 650; the difference is 41. The quotient is now 47.
Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we add a decimal point, allowing us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 4100.
Step 7: Find a new divisor. Let's estimate 474 x 8 = 3792.
Step 8: Subtract 3792 from 4100; the result is 308.
Step 9: Now the quotient is 47.4.
Step 10: Continue doing these steps until we achieve the desired accuracy.
So the square root of √2250 ≈ 47.434.
The approximation method is another technique 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 2250 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares around √2250. The closest perfect square below 2250 is 2209, and the one above is 2304. √2250 falls between 47 and 48.
Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) ÷ (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square).
Using the formula (2250 - 2209) ÷ (2304 - 2209) = 41 ÷ 95 ≈ 0.431.
Adding this to the smaller square root: 47 + 0.431 = 47.431.
So, the square root of 2250 is approximately 47.431.
Students often make mistakes when finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root or skipping steps in the long division method. Let us look at a few of these mistakes in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2250?
The area of the square is 2250 square units.
The area of the square = side^2.
The side length is given as √2250.
Area of the square = side^2 = √2250 x √2250 = 2250.
Therefore, the area of the square box is 2250 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 2250 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2250, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
1125 square feet
We can simply divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.
Dividing 2250 by 2 = 1125.
So, half of the building measures 1125 square feet.
Calculate √2250 x 5.
237.17
The first step is to find the square root of 2250, which is approximately 47.434.
The second step is to multiply 47.434 by 5.
So, 47.434 x 5 = 237.17.
What will be the square root of (2250 + 50)?
The square root is approximately 48.9898.
First, find the sum of (2250 + 50) = 2300.
Then, find the square root: √2300 ≈ 48.9898.
Therefore, the square root of (2250 + 50) is approximately ±48.9898.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2250 units and the width ‘w’ is 20 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 134.8684 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).
Perimeter = 2 × (√2250 + 20) = 2 × (47.434 + 20) = 2 × 67.434 = 134.8684 units.
