Square Root of 135

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Square root is the number obtained when a number is multiplied with itself. We apply the concept of square root in architecture, to measure volume and surface area. In this article, we’ll learn how to find the square root of 135.

Square Root of 135 for Indian Students

What is the Square Root of 135

The square root of 135 is ±11.618. Finding the square root of a number is the inverse process of finding the perfect square. The square root of 135 is written as √135.

Finding the square root of 135

The different ways to find the square root of a number are prime factorization, long division  and approximation/estimation method
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 135 using prime Factorization Method

The prime factorization of 135 breaks 135 into its prime numbers. 


The numbers 3 and 5 are the prime numbers 


Prime factorization of 135 is 33 × 5


Since 3 and 5 are not repeating, we can’t pair them


Therefore, √135 is expressed as 3√3√5, the simplest radical form
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 135 using long division method

The long division method finds the square root of non-perfect squares.


Step 1: Write down the number 135


Step 2: Number 135 is a three-digit number, so pair them as (1), (35)


Step 3: Find the largest that is closest to the first pair (1), which is 12


Step 4: Write down 1 as the quotient, which will be the first digit of the square root.


Step 5: Subtracting 12  from 1 will leave zero as the remainder. Now bring down the second pair (35) and place it beside 0.


Step 6: Now double the quotient you have, that is multiply the quotient 1 with 2 and the result will be 2


Step 7: Choose a number such that it can be placed after 2. The two-digit number created should be less than the second pair (35). Here, we place number 1 after 2, because the number formed is less than 35.


Step 8: Subtract 21 from 35  → 35-21 = 14. Now add a decimal point after the new quotient and adding two zeros will make it 1400


Step 9: Apply step 7 over here and continue the process until you reach 0.


Step 10: We can write  √135 as 11.618

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 119 by Approximation method

The approximation method finds the estimated square root of non-perfect squares.

 

Step 1: Identify the closest perfect square to 135. Numbers 121 and 144 are the closest perfect square to 135.


Step 2: We know that  √121 = 11 and  √144 = 12. Thus, we can say that  √135 lies between  11 and 12.


Step 3: Check if  √135 is closer to 11 or 12. Let us take 11.5 and 12. Since (11.5)2 is 132.25 and (12)2 is 144,  √135 lies between them.


Step 4: We can keep changing the values of 11.5 to 11. 6 and iterate the same process without changing 12 as the closest perfect square root.

 

The result of  √135 will be 11.616

Square Root of 135 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Determine whether √135 < √144

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

 Yes, √135 < √144
 

Explanation

Take the values of both √135 and √144. Compare the value to determine whether √135 < √144. The value for √135 is 11.616 and √144 is 12. Hence, we can say that √135 < √144.

Problem 2

Prove that √135 + √169 is irrational

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

The sum of √135 + √169 is 24.616, making it irrational
 

Explanation

 Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a proper fraction. The value of √135 is 11.616 and value of √169 is 13. Adding them will give 24.616 as the sum.

Problem 3

The hypotenuse of a triangle is 13 cm, length of one side is 5 cm. What will be the length on the other side?

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

The length of the other side will be 12 cm.

Explanation

Apply the Pythagoras theorem. According to the formula, a2 + b2 = c2,

 

where a = 5, b = ?, and c = 13.

 

Therefore, a2 + b2 = c2 → 52 + b2 = 132 →  25 + b2 = 169.

 

Therefore, b2 = 169 - 25 = 144 → b = √144 = 12.

Problem 4

The area of a circle of 135 cm² . Calculate the radius.

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

The radius of circle will be 6.53 cm
 

Explanation

 The area of the circle = πr² → 135 = 3.14 × r2 →  r = √135/3.14 = 6.53.


The value of π is 3.14.
