What is the Square Root of 6760?

The square root is the inverse of squaring a number. 6760 is not a perfect square. The square root of 6760 can be expressed in radical and exponential forms. In the radical form, it is expressed as √6760, whereas in exponential form, it is expressed as (6760)^(1/2). The approximate value of √6760 is 82.206, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.square root of 6760

Finding the Square Root of 6760

The prime factorization method is commonly used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, the long division method and approximation method are often employed. Let's explore these methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 6760 by Prime Factorization Method

Prime factorization involves expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. Let's break down 6760 into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 6760 By breaking it down, we get 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 13 × 13: 2^3 × 5 × 13^2

 

Step 2: The prime factors of 6760 are identified. Since 6760 is not a perfect square, we cannot pair all the prime factors completely.

 

Therefore, calculating the exact square root using prime factorization is not straightforward.

Square Root of 6760 by Long Division Method

The long division method is suitable for finding the square root of non-perfect square numbers. Here is how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step:

 

Step 1: Begin by grouping the digits of 6760 from right to left. We can group them as 67 and 60.

 

Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to 67. In this case, 8² = 64. The quotient is 8, and the remainder is 67 - 64 = 3.

 

Step 3: Bring down the next pair of digits (60), making the new dividend 360. Double the quotient (8), resulting in a new divisor of 16_.

 

Step 4: Find a digit (n) such that 16n × n is less than or equal to 360. We find that n = 2 works because 162 × 2 = 324.

 

Step 5: Subtract 324 from 360 to get a remainder of 36, and the quotient becomes 82.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, add a decimal point to the quotient and bring down two zeros to make the new dividend 3600.

 

Step 7: Double the quotient part (82), resulting in a new divisor of 164_.

 

Step 8: Find the largest digit (n) such that 164n × n is less than or equal to 3600. We find that n = 2 works because 1642 × 2 = 3284.

 

Step 9: Subtract 3284 from 3600, resulting in a remainder of 316.

 

Step 10: Continue this process until an accurate square root value is reached.

 

The approximate square root of 6760 is 82.206.

Square Root of 6760 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another way to find the square root of a number. Let's use it to find the square root of 6760:

 

Step 1: Identify the closest perfect squares around 6760. The perfect squares 6400 (80²) and 6889 (83²) bracket 6760. Therefore, √6760 is between 80 and 83.

 

Step 2: Use linear interpolation to approximate the square root: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square) (6760 - 6400) / (6889 - 6400) = 360 / 489 ≈ 0.736

 

Step 3: Add this decimal to the lower bound: 80 + 0.736 = 80.736. However, refining through further steps, we find the square root to be approximately 82.206.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √6760?

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

The area of the square is approximately 457,536.036 square units.

Explanation

The area of a square is calculated as side². The side length is given as √6760. Area = side² = (√6760)² = 6760 square units. Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 457,536.036 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped garden measuring 6760 square feet is built. If each side is √6760, what is the square footage of half the garden?

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

3380 square feet

Explanation

Since the garden is square-shaped, you can divide the total area by 2 to find half the area. 6760 / 2 = 3380 So, half of the garden measures 3380 square feet.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (6760 + 40)?

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

The square root is approximately 82.462

Explanation

First, find the sum: 6760 + 40 = 6800. Then, find the square root of 6800, which is approximately 82.462. Therefore, the square root of (6760 + 40) is approximately ±82.462.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length is √6760 units and the width is 50 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 264.412 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width) Perimeter = 2 × (√6760 + 50) Perimeter = 2 × (82.206 + 50) ≈ 2 × 132.206 = 264.412 units.
