By the Multiplication method

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 516.

 

Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 516.

 

Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 516 × 516 = 266,256.

 

The square of 516 is 266,256.

Using a Formula (a²)

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 516

So: 516² = 516 × 516 = 266,256

By Using a Calculator

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 516.

 

Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 516 in the calculator.

 

Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 516 × 516

 

Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 516 is 266,256.

 

Tips and Tricks for the Square of 516

 

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.

 

  • The square of an even number is always an even number. For example, 6² = 36.

 

  • The square of an odd number is always an odd number. For example, 5² = 25.

 

  • The last digit of the square of a number is always 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.

 

  • If the square root of a number is a fraction or a decimal, then the number is not a perfect square. For example, √1.44 = 1.2.

 

  • The square root of a perfect square is always a whole number. For example, √144 = 12.

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 266,256 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of a square = 266,256 cm²

 

So, the length = √266,256 = 516.

 

The length of each side = 516 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 516 cm.

 

Because the area is 266,256 cm², the length is √266,256 = 516.

Problem 2

Alex is planning to tile his square floor of length 516 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 2 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full floor?

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

The length of the floor = 516 feet

 

The cost to tile 1 square foot of floor = 2 dollars.

 

To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the floor.

 

Area of the floor = area of the square = a²

 

Here a = 516

 

Therefore, the area of the floor = 516² = 516 × 516 = 266,256.

 

The cost to tile the floor = 266,256 × 2 = 532,512.

 

The total cost = 532,512 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the floor, we multiply the area of the floor by the cost to tile per foot.

 

So, the total cost is 532,512 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 516 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 836,939.04 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 516

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 516² = 3.14 × 516 × 516 = 836,939.04 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 268,324 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 2,064 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 268,324 cm²

 

The length of the side is √268,324 = 518

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 518

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 518 = 2,072.

Problem 5

Find the square of 517.

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

The square of 517 is 267,289.

Explanation

The square of 517 is multiplying 517 by 517.

 

So, the square = 517 × 517 = 267,289
