What is the Square Root of 3721?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 3721 is a perfect square. The square root of 3721 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √3721, whereas (3721)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √3721 = 61, which is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 3721

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Since 3721 is a perfect square, the prime factorization method can be applied. Let us now learn the methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method

Square Root of 3721 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 3721 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 3721. 3721 can be expressed as 61 × 61, as 61 is a prime number. Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 3721. Since 3721 is a perfect square, the digits of the number can be grouped in pairs.

 

Therefore, the square root of 3721 using prime factorization is 61.

Square Root of 3721 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for both perfect and non-perfect square numbers to ensure accuracy. 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 pairs. For 3721, we group it as 37 and 21.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find a number whose square is less than or equal to 37. We can choose 6 because 6 × 6 = 36. Now the quotient is 6, after subtracting 36 from 37, the remainder is 1.

 

Step 3: Bring down the next pair of digits (21) to make the new dividend 121.

 

Step 4: Double the quotient obtained in the previous step (6) and place it as a new divisor part: 12.

 

Step 5: Find a digit (n) such that 12n × n is less than or equal to 121. Choose n as 1 because 121 × 1 = 121.

 

Step 6: Subtract 121 from 121 to get a remainder of 0.

 

The quotient is 61, which is the square root of 3721.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Square Root of 3721

Students may make mistakes while finding the square root, such as not recognizing the number as a perfect square or miscalculating in the long division steps. Here are a few common mistakes and how to avoid them:

Square Root of 3721 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √3721?

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

The area of the square is 3721 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √3721.

Area of the square = side² = √3721 × √3721 = 61 × 61 = 3721.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 3721 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 3721 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √3721, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1860.5 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 3721 by 2 gives 1860.5.

So half of the building measures 1860.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √3721 × 5.

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

305

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 3721, which is 61.

The second step is to multiply 61 by 5.

So 61 × 5 = 305.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (3721 + 79)?

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

The square root is 63.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (3721 + 79).

3721 + 79 = 3800, and since 3800 is not a perfect square, we estimate the square root to be approximately 63.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √3721 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is 222 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).

Perimeter = 2 × (√3721 + 50)

= 2 × (61 + 50)

= 2 × 111

= 222 units.
