The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In the topic, we will discuss the square of 496.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 496 is 496 × 496.
The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
We write it in math as 496², where 496 is the base and 2 is the exponent.
The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive. For example, 5² = 25; -5² = 25.
The square of 496 is 496 × 496 = 246016.
Square of 496 in exponential form: 496²
Square of 496 in arithmetic form: 496 × 496
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 496.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 496.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 496 × 496 = 246016.
The square of 496 is 246016.
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 496.
So: 496² = 496 × 496 = 246016
Using a calculator to find the square of a number is the easiest method. Let’s learn how to use a calculator to find the square of 496.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 496 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 496 × 496
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer Here, the square of 496 is 246016.
Tips and tricks make it easy for students to understand and learn the square of a number. To master the square of a number, these tips and tricks will help students.
Mistakes are common among kids when doing math, especially when it is finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 246016 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 246016 cm²
So, the length = √246016 = 496.
The length of each side = 496 cm
The length of a square is 496 cm.
Because the area is 246016 cm², the length is √246016 = 496.
Sarah wants to buy tiles to cover her square kitchen floor of length 496 feet. Each tile covers an area of 4 square feet. How many tiles does she need?
The length of the kitchen floor = 496 feet
The area of the kitchen floor = 496 × 496 = 246016 square feet
Each tile covers 4 square feet.
Number of tiles needed = 246016 ÷ 4 = 61504.
Sarah needs 61504 tiles.
To find the number of tiles required, divide the total area of the floor by the area each tile covers. So, Sarah needs 61504 tiles.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 496 meters.
The area of the circle = 772,176.64 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 496
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 496² = 3.14 × 496 × 496 = 772,176.64 m².
The area of the square is 246016 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 1984 cm.
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 246016 cm²
The length of the side is √246016 = 496
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 496
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 496 = 1984 cm.
Find the square of 497.
The square of 497 is 247009.
The square of 497 is multiplying 497 by 497.
So, the square = 497 × 497 = 247009.
