The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Squares are used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In this topic, we will discuss the square of 493.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 493 is 493 × 493.
The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
We write it in math as 493², where 493 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 493 is 493 × 493 = 243,049.
Square of 493 in exponential form: 493²
Square of 493 in arithmetic form: 493 × 493
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 493.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 493.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 493 × 493 = 243,049.
The square of 493 is 243,049.
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 493
So: 493² = 493 × 493 = 243,049

Find the length of a square, where the area of the square is 243,049 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 243,049 cm²
So, the length = √243,049 = 493.
The length of each side = 493 cm
The length of a square is 493 cm.
Because the area is 243,049 cm² the length is √243,049 = 493.
Sarah is planning to tile her square garden of length 493 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full garden?
The length of the garden = 493 feet
The cost to tile 1 square foot of garden = 5 dollars.
To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the garden.
Area of the garden = area of the square = a²
Here a = 493
Therefore, the area of the garden = 493² = 493 × 493 = 243,049.
The cost to tile the garden = 243,049 × 5 = 1,215,245.
The total cost = 1,215,245 dollars
To find the cost to tile the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to tile per foot. So, the total cost is 1,215,245 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 493 meters.
The area of the circle = 763,786.69 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 493
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 493² = 3.14 × 493 × 493 = 763,786.69 m².
The area of the square is 243,049 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 1,972 cm.
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 243,049 cm²
The length of the side is √243,049 = 493
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 493
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 493 = 1,972 cm.
Find the square of 494.
The square of 494 is 244,036.
The square of 494 is multiplying 494 by 494.
So, the square = 494 × 494 = 244,036.
