What is the Square of 0.25

The square of a number is the product of the number with itself. The square of 0.25 is 0.25 × 0.25. The square of a number can end in various digits. We write it in math as (0.252), where 0.25 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The square of a positive or negative number is always positive. For example, (0.52 = 0.25); ((-0.5)2 = 0.25)

 

The square of 0.25 is (0.25 × 0.25 = 0.0625).

 

Square of 0.25 in exponential form: (0.252)

 

Square of 0.25 in arithmetic form: 0.25 × 0.25

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 0.25.

 

Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 0.25.

 

Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get: 0.25 × 0.25 = 0.0625.

 

The square of 0.25 is 0.0625.

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 0.25. So: (0.252 = 0.25 × 0.25 = 0.0625).
