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 1989. So: 1989² = 1989 × 1989 = 3,956,721

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 3,956,721 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

So, the area of a square = 3,956,721 cm²

So, the length = √3,956,721 = 1989.

The length of each side = 1989 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 1989 cm because the area is 3,956,721 cm², and the length is √3,956,721 = 1989.

Problem 2

Sarah is planning to tile her square floor, which has a length of 1989 feet. The cost to tile one square foot is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to tile the entire floor?

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

The length of the floor = 1989 feet

The cost to tile 1 square foot of floor = 5 dollars.

To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the floor,

Area of the floor = area of the square = a²

Here a = 1989

Therefore, the area of the floor = 1989² = 1989 × 1989 = 3,956,721.

The cost to tile the floor = 3,956,721 × 5 = 19,783,605.

The total cost = 19,783,605 dollars

Explanation

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

So, the total cost is 19,783,605 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 1989 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 12,432,720.66 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 1989

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 1989² = 3.14 × 1989 × 1989 = 12,432,720.66 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 3,956,721 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 7,956 cm

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 3,956,721 cm²

The length of the side is √3,956,721 = 1989

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 1989

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 1989 = 7,956.
