If a number is multiplied by the same number, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in the field of vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2700.
The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 2700 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2700 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2700, whereas \(2700^{1/2}\) in the exponential form. √2700 ≈ 51.96152, 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, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods: Prime factorization method Long division method Approximation method
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2700 is broken down into its prime factors. Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2700 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5: \(2^2\) x \(3^3\) x \(5^2\) Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 2700. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2700 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in complete pairs. Therefore, calculating √2700 using prime factorization results in an approximate value.
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 2700, we need to group it as 00 and 27. Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤ 27. We can say n is ‘5’ because 5 x 5 = 25, which is lesser than or equal to 27. Now the quotient is 5 after subtracting 27 - 25, and the remainder is 2. Step 3: Now let us bring down 00 which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 5 + 5 we get 10, which will be our new divisor. Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 10n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n. Step 5: The next step is finding 10n x n ≤ 200. Let us consider n as 1, now 101 x 1 = 101. Step 6: Subtract 200 from 101, the difference is 99, and the quotient is 51. Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 9900. Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 102 because 1022 x 2 = 2044. Step 9: Subtracting 2044 from 9900 we get the result 7856. Step 10: Now the quotient is 51.9. Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero. So the square root of √2700 is approximately 51.96.
The approximation method is another method for finding square roots. It is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 2700 using the approximation method. Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √2700. The smallest perfect square less than 2700 is 2601 (which is 51²) and the largest perfect square greater than 2700 is 2809 (which is 53²). √2700 falls somewhere between 51 and 53. Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula that is (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Going by the formula (2700 - 2601) ÷ (2809 - 2601) = 99 ÷ 208 ≈ 0.475. Using the formula we identified the decimal point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number which is 51 + 0.475 ≈ 51.475, so the square root of 2700 is approximately 51.48.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root, skipping long division methods, etc. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2700?
The area of the square is 2700 square units.
The area of the square = side². The side length is given as √2700. Area of the square = side² = √2700 x √2700 = 2700. Therefore, the area of the square box is 2700 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 2700 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2700, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
1350 square feet
We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped. Dividing 2700 by 2 = we get 1350. So half of the building measures 1350 square feet.
Calculate √2700 x 5.
259.81
The first step is to find the square root of 2700, which is approximately 51.96. The second step is to multiply 51.96 by 5. So 51.96 x 5 = 259.81.
What will be the square root of (2600 + 100)?
The square root is 52.
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (2600 + 100). 2600 + 100 = 2700, and then √2700 ≈ 51.96. Therefore, the square root of (2600 + 100) is approximately 51.96.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2700 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 203.92 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√2700 + 50) ≈ 2 × (51.96 + 50) = 2 × 101.96 ≈ 203.92 units.
Square root: A square root is the inverse of a square. Example: \(4^2 = 16\) and the inverse of the square is the square root, that is, √16 = 4. Irrational number: An irrational number is a number that cannot be written in the form of p/q, where q is not equal to zero and p and q are integers. Principal square root: A number has both positive and negative square roots; however, it is always the positive square root that has more prominence due to its uses in the real world. That is the reason it is also known as a principal square root. Decimal: If a number has a whole number and a fraction in a single number, then it is called a decimal. For example, 7.86, 8.65, and 9.42 are decimals. Prime factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 2700 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5.
