Square Root of 2450

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 2450.

What is the Square Root of 2450?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 2450 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2450 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2450, whereas (2450)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √2450 ≈ 49.4975, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 2450

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 2450 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2450 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2450 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7: 2^1 x 5^2 x 7^2

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 2450. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2450 is not a perfect square, therefore the digits of the number can’t be grouped into perfect pairs for all factors. However, we can simplify it to 5 x 7 √2 or 35√2.

Square Root of 2450 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. 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. In the case of 2450, we need to group it as 50 and 24.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 24. We can say n is ‘4’ because 4 x 4 = 16 is less than 24. Now the quotient is 4 after subtracting 24 - 16, the remainder is 8.

 

Step 3: Now let us bring down 50 which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 4 + 4 to get 8, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be in the form of 8n. We need to find the value of n such that 8n x n ≤ 850. Let us consider n as 9, now 89 x 9 = 801.

 

Step 5: Subtract 850 from 801, the difference is 49, and the quotient is 49.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 4900.

 

Step 7: Now we need to find the new divisor. Let’s try 495, because 495 x 9 = 4455.

 

Step 8: Subtracting 4455 from 4900 gives us 445.

 

Step 9: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point or until the remainder is zero.

 

So the square root of √2450 is approximately 49.50.

Square Root of 2450 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding square roots, and it is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 2450 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect squares of √2450. The smallest perfect square less than 2450 is 2401 (49^2) and the largest perfect square greater than 2450 is 2500 (50^2). √2450 falls somewhere between 49 and 50.

 

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square).

Using the formula (2450 - 2401) ÷ (2500 - 2401) = 49 / 99 ≈ 0.4949. Using the formula, we identified the decimal point of our square root.

The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number which is 49 + 0.4949 ≈ 49.50, so the square root of 2450 is approximately 49.50.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to make students aware that a number does have both positive and negative square roots. However, we will be taking only the positive square root, as it is the required one.

For example: √50 ≈ 7.071, there is also -7.071 which should not be forgotten.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2450?

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

The area of the square is 2450 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √2450.

Area of the square = side² = √2450 x √2450 = 2450.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 2450 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 2450 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2450, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1225 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 2450 by 2, we get 1225.

So half of the building measures 1225 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √2450 x 5.

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

Approximately 247.49

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 2450, which is approximately 49.50.

The second step is to multiply 49.50 with 5.

So 49.50 x 5 ≈ 247.49.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (2450 + 50)?

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

The square root is 50.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (2450 + 50).

2450 + 50 = 2500, and then √2500 = 50.

Therefore, the square root of (2450 + 50) is ±50.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2450 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 175.99 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).

Perimeter = 2 × (√2450 + 38) = 2 × (49.50 + 38) ≈ 2 × 87.50 = 175.99 units.
