Tips and Tricks for the Square of 160 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. The square of an even number is always an even number. For example, 6² = 36 The square of an odd number is always an odd number. For example, 5² = 25 The last digit of the square of a number is always 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. If the square root of a number is a fraction or a decimal, then the number is not a perfect square. For example, √1.44 = 1.2 The square root of a perfect square is always a whole number. For example, √144 = 12.

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 25600 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 25600 cm² So, the length = √25600 = 160. The length of each side = 160 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 160 cm.

 

Because the area is 25600 cm², the length is √25600 = 160.

Problem 2

Alice is planning to tile her square patio of length 160 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full patio?

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

The length of the patio = 160 feet The cost to tile 1 square foot of the patio = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the patio, Area of the patio = area of the square = a² Here a = 160 Therefore, the area of the patio = 160² = 160 × 160 = 25600. The cost to tile the patio = 25600 × 5 = 128000. The total cost = 128000 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the patio, we multiply the area of the patio by the cost to tile per foot.

 

So, the total cost is 128000 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 160 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 80424 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 160

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 160²

 

= 3.14 × 160 × 160

 

= 80424 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 25600 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 640 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 25600 cm²

 

The length of the side is √25600 = 160

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 160

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 160 = 640.
