The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In the topic, we will discuss the square of 117.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 117 is 117 × 117.
The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
We write it in math as 117², where 117 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 117 is 117 × 117 = 13,689.
Square of 117 in exponential form: 117²
Square of 117 in arithmetic form: 117 × 117
The square of a number is multiplying the number by itself. So let’s learn how to find the square of a number. These are the common methods used to find the square of a number.
In this method, we will multiply the number by itself to find the square. The product here is the square of the number. Let’s find the square of 117.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 117.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 117 × 117 = 13,689.
The square of 117 is 13,689.
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 117.
So: 117² = 117 × 117 = 13,689
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 117.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 117 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 117 × 117
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 117 is 13,689.
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.
Mistakes are common among kids when doing math, especially when it is finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 13,689 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 13,689 cm²
So, the length = √13,689 = 117.
The length of each side = 117 cm
The length of a square is 117 cm.
Because the area is 13,689 cm², the length is √13,689 = 117.
Sarah is planning to paint her square wall of length 117 feet. The cost to paint a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to paint the full wall?
The length of the wall = 117 feet
The cost to paint 1 square foot of wall = 5 dollars.
To find the total cost to paint, we find the area of the wall, Area of the wall = area of the square = a²
Here a = 117
Therefore, the area of the wall = 117² = 117 × 117 = 13,689.
The cost to paint the wall = 13,689 × 5 = 68,445.
The total cost = 68,445 dollars
To find the cost to paint the wall, we multiply the area of the wall by the cost to paint per foot. So, the total cost is 68,445 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 117 meters.
The area of the circle = 43,042.98 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 117
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 117² = 3.14 × 117 × 117 = 43,042.98 m².
The area of the square is 13,869 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 13,689 cm²
The length of the side is √13,689 = 117
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 117
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 117 = 468.
Find the square of 118.
The square of 118 is 13,924
The square of 118 is multiplying 118 by 118.
So, the square = 118 × 118 = 13,924
