Square Root of 1155

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of this process is finding the square root. Square roots are used in various fields such as engineering, finance, and science. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1155.

What is the Square Root of 1155?

The square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number. 1155 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1155 can be expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √1155, whereas in exponential form it is (1155)^(1/2). The square root of 1155 is approximately 33.985, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Finding the Square Root of 1155

For non-perfect square numbers like 1155, methods such as the long division method and approximation method are used to find the square root. Let's explore these methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method 
     
  • Long division method
     
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 1155 by Prime Factorization Method

Prime factorization involves expressing a number as a product of its prime factors. Now, let us see how 1155 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1155. Breaking it down, we get 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 = 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 x 11^1.

 

Step 2: Since 1155 is not a perfect square, pairs of prime factors cannot be formed. Therefore, finding the square root of 1155 using prime factorization is not feasible for simplification.

Square Root of 1155 by Long Division Method

The long division method is used for non-perfect square numbers. This method involves finding the closest perfect square numbers and using them to approximate the square root. Let's see how to apply this method:

 

Step 1: Start by grouping the numbers from right to left. For 1155, group as 11 and 55.

 

Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to 11. Here, it is 3, since 3 × 3 = 9. Subtract 9 from 11, leaving a remainder of 2.

 

Step 3: Bring down the next group, 55, to make it 255. Double the divisor (3) to get 6, and find the next digit in the quotient by seeing what fits, i.e., 66n ≤ 255.

 

Step 4: We find n as 3 since 66 × 3 = 198. Subtract 198 from 255 to get 57.

 

Step 5: Continue the process of bringing down zeros and repeating steps until the desired precision is achieved. The square root of 1155 is approximately 33.985.

Square Root of 1155 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another straightforward way to estimate the square root of a number. Let's see how to find the square root of 1155 using this method: Step 1: Identify the nearest perfect squares around 1155. The closest are 1089 (33^2) and 1156 (34^2). Thus, √1155 is between 33 and 34. Step 2: Use the formula for approximation: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square). (1155 - 1089) / (1156 - 1089) = 66/67 ≈ 0.985. Step 3: Add this decimal to the smaller perfect square root: 33 + 0.985 = 33.985. Thus, √1155 ≈ 33.985.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1155?

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

The area of the square is approximately 1155 square units.

Explanation

The area of a square is calculated as side^2. If the side length is √1155, then the area is (√1155)^2 = 1155 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped field measures 1155 square meters. If each side is √1155 meters, what is the length of half the field's perimeter?

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

Approximately 67.97 meters.

Explanation

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length. Half of the perimeter is 2 times the side length. Half the perimeter = 2 × √1155 ≈ 2 × 33.985 ≈ 67.97 meters.

Problem 3

Calculate √1155 × 5.

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

Approximately 169.925.

Explanation

First, find √1155 ≈ 33.985, then multiply by 5: 33.985 × 5 ≈ 169.925.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (1145 + 10)?

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

The square root is approximately 34.

Explanation

First, calculate the sum: 1145 + 10 = 1155. Then find the square root: √1155 ≈ 33.985, which rounds to approximately 34.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length 'l' is √1155 units and the width 'w' is 40 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 147.97 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√1155 + 40) ≈ 2 × (33.985 + 40) ≈ 2 × 73.985 ≈ 147.97 units.
