Square Root of 3536

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. Square roots are used in fields such as vehicle design and finance. Here, we will discuss the square root of 3536.

What is the Square Root of 3536?

The square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number. 3536 is not a perfect square. The square root of 3536 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √3536, whereas in exponential form, it is (3536)^(1/2). √3536 ≈ 59.477, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 3536

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, 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 3536 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 3536 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 3536. Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 17: 2^4 x 13 x 17.

 

Step 2: Now we found the prime factors of 3536. The next step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 3536 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number cannot be grouped into pairs. Therefore, calculating the square root of 3536 using prime factorization alone is not straightforward.

Square Root of 3536 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we find 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. For 3536, we group it as 36 and 35.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 35. We can say n is 5 because 5^2 is 25, which is less than or equal to 35. The quotient is 5, and after subtracting 25 from 35, the remainder is 10.

 

Step 3: Bring down 36, making the new dividend 1036. Add the old divisor with the same number, 5 + 5, to get 10, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: Find a digit n such that 10n × n is less than or equal to 1036. Here, n is 9, so 109 × 9 = 981.

 

Step 5: Subtract 981 from 1036, getting a remainder of 55.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, add a decimal point and bring down two zeros to make the new dividend 5500.

 

Step 7: Continue this process to find n such that the new divisor, 118, multiplied by n, is less than or equal to 5500.

 

Step 8: We find that the square root of 3536 is approximately 59.477.

Square Root of 3536 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another way to find square roots. It is a simple method used to estimate the square root of a non-perfect square number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 3536 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares around 3536. The closest perfect squares are 3481 (59^2) and 3600 (60^2). √3536 falls between 59 and 60.

 

Step 2: Use the formula for approximation: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square). Using the formula: (3536 - 3481) / (3600 - 3481) = 55 / 119 ≈ 0.462. Add this approximation to the smaller root: 59 + 0.462 = 59.462. Therefore, the square root of 3536 is approximately 59.462.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √3536?

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

The area of the square is approximately 3536 square units.

Explanation

The area of a square = side^2.

The side length is given as √3536.

Area of the square = side^2 = √3536 × √3536 = 3536.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 3536 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 3536 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √3536, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1768 square feet

Explanation

To find the area of half of the building, divide the total area by 2.

3536 ÷ 2 = 1768.

So, half of the building measures 1768 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √3536 × 5.

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

Approximately 297.385

Explanation

First, find the square root of 3536, which is approximately 59.477.

Then multiply 59.477 by 5.

So, 59.477 × 5 ≈ 297.385.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (3536 + 64)?

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

The square root is approximately 60.166.

Explanation

First, find the sum of 3536 + 64 = 3600. Since 3600 is a perfect square, its square root is 60. Therefore, the square root of (3536 + 64) is 60.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √3536 units and the width ‘w’ is 12 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 142.954 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√3536 + 12) ≈ 2 × (59.477 + 12) = 2 × 71.477 ≈ 142.954 units.
