What is the Square of 201

The square of a number is the product of the number with itself.

 

The square of 201 is 201 × 201.

 

The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.

 

We write it in math as 201², where 201 is the base and 2 is the exponent.

 

The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive.

 

For example, 5² = 25; -5² = 25.

 

The square of 201 is 201 × 201 = 40401.

 

Square of 201 in exponential form: 201²

 

Square of 201 in arithmetic form: 201 × 201

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 201 So: 201² = 201 × 201 = 40401

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 40401 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of the square = 40401 cm² So, the length = √40401 = 201. The length of each side = 201 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 201 cm.

Because the area is 40401 cm², the length is √40401 = 201.

Problem 2

Jenna is planning to paint her square wall of length 201 feet. The cost to paint a foot is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to paint the full wall?

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

The length of the wall = 201 feet The cost to paint 1 square foot of wall = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to paint, we find the area of the wall, Area of the wall = area of the square = a² Here a = 201 Therefore, the area of the wall = 201² = 201 × 201 = 40401. The cost to paint the wall = 40401 × 5 = 202005. The total cost = 202005 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to paint the wall, we multiply the area of the wall by the cost to paint per foot.

So, the total cost is 202005 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 201 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 127,228.14 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 201

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 201² = 3.14 × 201 × 201 = 127,228.14 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 40401 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is

Explanation

The area of the square = a² Here, the area is 40401 cm²

The length of the side is √40401 = 201

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 201

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 201 = 804.
