What is the Square Root of 9801?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 9801 is a perfect square. The square root of 9801 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √9801, whereas (9801)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √9801 = 99, 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.

Finding the Square Root of 9801

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Here, we will use the prime factorization method to find the square root of 9801.

Square Root of 9801 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 9801 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 9801

 

Breaking it down, we get 3 × 3 × 1089, and 1089 = 3 × 3 × 121, and 121 = 11 × 11. Thus, 9801 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 11 × 11.

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 9801. The next step is to make pairs of those prime factors: (3, 3), (3, 3), and (11, 11). Since 9801 is a perfect square, we can pair the factors. Therefore, calculating 9801 using prime factorization, we get √9801 = 3 × 3 × 11 = 99.

Square Root of 9801 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. However, it can also be applied to perfect squares for verification. Here is how you can find the square root using the long division method:

 

Step 1: Pair the digits of 9801 starting from the right: 98 and 01.

 

Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to 98. Here, it is 9, as 9 × 9 = 81.

 

Step 3: Subtract 81 from 98 to get the remainder 17. Bring down the next pair, 01, to get 1701.

 

Step 4: Double the quotient obtained so far (9) to get 18, and find a digit n such that 18n × n ≤ 1701.

 

Step 5: n is 9 here, since 189 × 9 = 1701.

 

Step 6: Subtracting 1701 from 1701 leaves a remainder of 0. The quotient obtained is 99.

 

So, the square root of √9801 is 99.

Square Root of 9801 by Approximation Method

Since 9801 is a perfect square, the approximation method is not needed. However, if it were not, this method could be useful for finding square roots to a certain degree of accuracy.

 

Step 1: Identify the perfect squares closest to 9801. The closest are 9604 (98^2) and 10000 (100^2). Since 9801 is exactly 99^2, the approximation method confirms the exactness.

Forgetting about the negative square root

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 often focus on the positive square root, as it is the required one in most cases.

For example: √9801 = 99, but there is also -99 which should not be forgotten.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the side length of a square if its area is given as 9801 square units?

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

The side length of the square is 99 units.

Explanation

The side length of the square = √area.

The area is given as 9801 square units.

Side length = √9801 = 99.

Therefore, the side length of the square is 99 units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped garden measuring 9801 square feet is built. If each of the sides is √9801, what will be the square feet of half of the garden?

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

4900.5 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 9801 by 2, we get 4900.5.

So half of the garden measures 4900.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √9801 × 5.

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

495

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 9801, which is 99.

The second step is to multiply 99 with 5.

So, 99 × 5 = 495.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (9801 + 0)?

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

The square root is 99.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (9801 + 0). 9801 + 0 = 9801, and then √9801 = 99.

Therefore, the square root of (9801 + 0) is ±99.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √9801 units and the width ‘w’ is 20 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 238 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√9801 + 20) = 2 × (99 + 20) = 2 × 119 = 238 units.
