Square Root of 2011

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 various fields like vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2011.

What is the Square Root of 2011?

The square root is the inverse of squaring a number. 2011 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2011 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √2011, whereas in exponential form it is (2011)^(1/2). √2011 ≈ 44.833, 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.

Finding the Square Root of 2011

The prime factorization method is typically used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers like 2011, the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now explore the following methods: 

 

  • Long division method 
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 2011 by Long Division Method

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: Group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2011, group it as 20 and 11.

 

Step 2: Find n whose square is less than or equal to 20. We can say n is '4' because 4 x 4 = 16, which is less than or equal to 20. Now the quotient is 4, and the remainder is 20 - 16 = 4.

 

Step 3: Bring down 11 to make the new dividend 411. Add the old divisor with the same number 4 + 4 = 8, making 8 the new divisor.

 

Step 4: Find a new digit n such that (80 + n) × n is less than or equal to 411. Here, n is 5.

 

Step 5: Subtract 405 from 411, the remainder is 6, and the quotient is 45.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is now less than the divisor, add a decimal point and append two zeroes to the dividend to make it 600.

 

Step 7: Repeat the process to find the next digit in the quotient. Continue until you achieve the desired decimal accuracy.

 

The square root of √2011 is approximately 44.833.

Square Root of 2011 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another way to find square roots. It is a straightforward method to find the square root of a given number. Let us learn how to find the square root of 2011 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares to 2011. The smallest perfect square less than 2011 is 2025, and the largest is 1936. √2011 falls between 44 and 45.

 

Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smaller perfect square).

 

Using the formula, (2011 - 1936) / (2025 - 1936) = 75 / 89 ≈ 0.8427. Adding this to the lower integer boundary: 44 + 0.8427 ≈ 44.8427. Therefore, the square root of 2011 is approximately 44.8427.

Forgetting about the Negative Square Root

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It's important to remember that numbers have both positive and negative square roots. However, we often take only the positive square root, as it is the more practical choice for most applications.

For example, the square root of 50 is ±7.07, but typically only the positive root is used.

Square Root of 2011 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square if its side length is √2011?

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

The area of the square is approximately 2011 square units.

Explanation

The area of a square = side².

The side length is given as √2011.

Area of the square = side² = (√2011)² = 2011.

Therefore, the area of the square is approximately 2011 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measures 2011 square feet. If each side is √2011, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1005.5 square feet

Explanation

Simply divide the given area by 2 since the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 2011 by 2 gives us 1005.5.

So half of the building measures 1005.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √2011 × 5.

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

Approximately 224.165

Explanation

First, find the square root of 2011, which is approximately 44.833.

Then multiply 44.833 by 5.

So, 44.833 × 5 ≈ 224.165.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (2011 + 14)?

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

The square root is approximately 45.

Explanation

To find the square root, first find the sum of (2011 + 14). 2011 + 14 = 2025, and √2025 = 45.

Therefore, the square root of (2011 + 14) is ±45.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2011 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 189.666 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).

Perimeter = 2 × (√2011 + 50) ≈ 2 × (44.833 + 50) = 2 × 94.833 = 189.666 units.
