If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of a square is a square root. The square root is used in fields like vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1092.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1092 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1092 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1092, whereas (1092)^(1/2) in exponential form. √1092 ≈ 33.0454, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, the long division method and approximation method are often used. Let us now learn the following methods: -
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now, let us look at how 1092 is broken down into its prime factors:
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1092 Breaking it down, we get 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 × 13 = 2^2 × 3^1 × 7^1 × 13^1
Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1092. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 1092 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be completely grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating 1092 using prime factorization is not straightforward.
The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. 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 the case of 1092, we group it as 92 and 10.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 10. We can say n is 3 because 3 × 3 = 9, which is less than 10. Now the quotient is 3, and after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.
Step 3: Bring down 92, making the new dividend 192. Add the old divisor (3) with itself to get 6, which will be part of our new divisor.
Step 4: Find n such that 6n × n ≤ 192. Let us consider n as 3, giving us 63 × 3 = 189.
Step 5: Subtract 189 from 192, and the remainder is 3. The quotient now is 33.
Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we add a decimal point to the quotient, which allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. The new dividend is 300.
Step 7: Find the new divisor 66n such that 66n × n ≤ 300. Let n be 4, since 664 × 4 = 2656.
Step 8: Subtract 2656 from 3000, resulting in a remainder of 344. The quotient is now 33.04.
Step 9: Continue these steps until you get two or more decimal places. So, the square root of √1092 is approximately 33.0454.
The approximation method is another way to find square roots. It is an easy method to estimate the square root of a given number. Let's learn how to find the square root of 1092 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Identify the closest perfect squares around 1092. The closest perfect square below 1092 is 1089, and above is 1156. √1092 falls somewhere between 33 and 34.
Step 2: Apply the approximation formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square) Using the formula, (1092 - 1089) / (1156 - 1089) = 3 / 67 ≈ 0.045 Adding the integer closest to the square root (33) with the decimal, we get 33 + 0.045 = 33.045. Thus, the square root of 1092 is approximately 33.045.
Students often make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root, skipping steps in the long division method, etc. Let's look at a few of these mistakes in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1092?
The area of the square is approximately 1192.96 square units.
The area of the square = side².
The side length is given as √1092.
Area of the square = side² = √1092 × √1092 = 33.0454 × 33.0454 ≈ 1092.96
Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1092.96 square units.
A square-shaped garden measuring 1092 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √1092, what will be the square feet of half of the garden?
546 square feet
We can divide the given area by 2 as the garden is square-shaped.
Dividing 1092 by 2 gives us 546.
So, half of the garden measures 546 square feet.
Calculate √1092 × 5.
165.227
First, find the square root of 1092, which is approximately 33.0454.
Then, multiply 33.0454 by 5: 33.0454 × 5 = 165.227
What will be the square root of (1092 + 64)?
The square root is 34.
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (1092 + 64). 1092 + 64 = 1156, and the square root of 1156 is 34.
Therefore, the square root of (1092 + 64) is ±34.
Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1092 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 166.0908 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 × (√1092 + 50) = 2 × (33.0454 + 50) = 2 × 83.0454 = 166.0908 units.
