Square Root of 775

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 775.

What is the Square Root of 775?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 775 is not a perfect square. The square root of 775 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √775, whereas 775^(1/2) in the exponential form. √775 ≈ 27.837, 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 775

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where 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 775 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 775 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 775 Breaking it down, we get 5 x 5 x 31: 5^2 x 31^1

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 775. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 775 is not a perfect square, we cannot perfectly pair all digits.

 

Therefore, calculating √775 using prime factorization results in an irrational number.

Square Root of 775 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 775, we need to group it as 75 and 7.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is 7. We can say n as ‘2’ because 2 x 2 is lesser than or equal to 7. Now the quotient is 2, and after subtracting 4 from 7, the remainder is 3.

 

Step 3: Now let us bring down 75, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 2 + 2 to get 4, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be 4n. We need to find the value of n.

 

Step 5: The next step is finding 4n x n ≤ 375. Let us consider n as 7, now 47 x 7 = 329.

 

Step 6: Subtract 329 from 375, the difference is 46, and the quotient is 27.

 

Step 7: 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 4600.

 

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 554 because 554 x 8 = 4432.

 

Step 9: Subtracting 4432 from 4600, we get the result 168.

 

Step 10: Now the quotient is 27.8

 

Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.

 

So the square root of √775 is approximately 27.84.

Square Root of 775 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding the square roots. 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 775 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √775.

 

The smallest perfect square less than 775 is 729, and the largest perfect square greater than 775 is 784. √775 falls somewhere between 27 and 28.

 

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula (775 - 729) ÷ (784 - 729) = 46 ÷ 55 = 0.836.

 

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 27 + 0.836 = 27.836.

 

Therefore, the square root of 775 is approximately 27.836.

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 = 7.07, there is also -7.07, which should not be forgotten.

Square root of 775 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √775?

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

The area of the square is approximately 775 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √775.

Area of the square = side^2 = √775 x √775 = 775.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 775 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped plot measuring 775 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √775, what will be the square feet of half of the plot?

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

387.5 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 775 by 2 gives us 387.5.

So half of the plot measures 387.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √775 x 3.

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

83.511

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 775, which is approximately 27.837.

The second step is to multiply 27.837 by 3.

So 27.837 x 3 ≈ 83.511.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (775 + 25)?

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

The square root is 28.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (775 + 25). 775 + 25 = 800, and then √800 ≈ 28.284.

Therefore, the square root of (775 + 25) is approximately ±28.284.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √775 units and the width ‘w’ is 40 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 135.674 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√775 + 40) = 2 × (27.837 + 40) = 2 × 67.837 ≈ 135.674 units.
