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 498.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 498 is 498 × 498.
We write it in math as 498², where 498 is the base and 2 is the exponent.
The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive. For example, 5² = 25; (-5)² = 25.
The square of 498 is 498 × 498 = 248,004.
Square of 498 in exponential form: 498²
Square of 498 in arithmetic form: 498 × 498
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 498.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 498.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 498 × 498 = 248,004.
The square of 498 is 248,004.
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 498
So: 498² = 498 × 498 = 248,004
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 498.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 498 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 498 × 498.
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 498 is 248,004.
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 248,004 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 248,004 cm²
So, the length = √248,004 = 498.
The length of each side = 498 cm
The length of a square is 498 cm.
Because the area is 248,004 cm², the length is √248,004 = 498.
Lisa wants to cover her square garden of length 498 feet with grass. The cost to cover a square foot of garden is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to cover the full garden?
The length of the garden = 498 feet
The cost to cover 1 square foot of garden = 5 dollars.
To find the total cost to cover, we find the area of the garden
Area of the garden = area of the square = a²
Here a = 498
Therefore, the area of the garden = 498² = 498 × 498 = 248,004.
The cost to cover the garden = 248,004 × 5 = 1,240,020.
The total cost = 1,240,020 dollars
To find the cost to cover the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by cost to cover per foot.
So, the total cost is 1,240,020 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 498 meters.
The area of the circle = 779,610.32 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 498
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 498² = 3.14 × 498 × 498 = 779,610.32 m².
The area of the square is 248,004 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 248,004 cm²
The length of the side is √248,004 = 498
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 498
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 498 = 1,992.
Find the square of 500.
The square of 500 is 250,000
The square of 500 is multiplying 500 by 500.
So, the square = 500 × 500 = 250,000
