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 the field of vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 90000.
The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 90000 is a perfect square. The square root of 90000 is expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √90000, whereas (90000)^(1/2) in exponential form. √90000 = 300, which is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Since 90000 is a perfect square, we can use the prime factorization method and also verify using the long division method. Let us now learn these methods:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 90000 is broken down into its prime factors.
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 90000 Breaking it down, we get 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 2^2 × 3^2 × 5^4
Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 90000. The next step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 90000 is a perfect square, all the digits of the number can be grouped in pairs.
Therefore, calculating the square root using prime factorization is straightforward: √90000 = √(2^2 × 3^2 × 5^4) = 2 × 3 × 5^2 = 300.
The long division method is another way to find the square root of numbers, especially perfect squares. Let us now learn how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step.
Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. For 90000, we group it as (90) (000).
Step 2: Now we need to find a number whose square is less than or equal to the first group, 90. We can choose 9, as 9 × 9 = 81. Now the quotient is 9, and the remainder is 90 - 81 = 9.
Step 3: Bring down the next pair of zeros to the remainder, making it 900.
Step 4: Double the quotient we obtained, which is 9, to get 18.
Step 5: Find a digit x such that 18x × x is less than or equal to 900. We find that x = 5, as 185 × 5 = 925, which is greater than 900, so we choose x = 4, as 184 × 4 = 736.
Step 6: Subtract 736 from 900, leaving a remainder of 164.
Step 7: Bring down the next pair of zeros to make it 16400.
Step 8: Now, double the new quotient formed, 94, to get 188.
Step 9: Find a digit x such that 188x × x is less than or equal to 16400. x = 8 works, as 1888 × 8 = 15104.
Step 10: Subtract 15104 from 16400, leaving a remainder of 1296.
Step 11: Continue this process until you reach a remainder of 0 or get the desired precision.
The quotient will be 300, confirming that √90000 = 300.
The approximation method involves finding the nearest perfect squares around 90000 and estimating the square root accordingly. However, since 90000 is a perfect square, we already know the exact square root is 300.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root or not properly pairing factors. Let's look at a few common mistakes.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1600?
The area of the square is 1600 square units.
The area of the square = side^2.
The side length is given as √1600.
Area of the square = side^2
= √1600 × √1600
= 40 × 40
= 1600.
Therefore, the area of the square box is 1600 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 90000 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √90000, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
45000 square feet
We can divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.
Dividing 90000 by 2 gives 45000.
So half of the building measures 45000 square feet.
Calculate √90000 × 5.
1500
First, find the square root of 90000, which is 300.
Then multiply 300 by 5. So 300 × 5 = 1500.
What will be the square root of (8100 + 8100)?
The square root is 90.
Find the sum of (8100 + 8100) = 16200.
The square root of 16200 is not straightforward, but since 8100 is a perfect square (90^2), we can simplify calculations.
√16200 ≈ 127.28.
Therefore, the square root of (8100 + 8100) is approximately 127.28.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √160000 units and the width ‘w’ is 200 units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 1600 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 × (√160000 + 200)
= 2 × (400 + 200)
= 2 × 600
= 1200 units.
