The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In this topic, we will discuss the square of 487.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself.
The square of 487 is 487 × 487.
The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
We write it in math as 487², where 487 is the base and 2 is the exponent.
The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive. For example, 5² = 25; -5² = 25.
The square of 487 is 487 × 487 = 237169.
Square of 487 in exponential form: 487²
Square of 487 in arithmetic form: 487 × 487
The square of a number is multiplying the number by itself. So let’s learn how to find the square of a number. These are the common methods used to find the square of a number.
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 487.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 487.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 487 × 487 = 237169.
The square of 487 is 237169.
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 487
So: 487² = 487 × 487 = 237169
Using a calculator to find the square of a number is the easiest method. Let’s learn how to use a calculator to find the square of 487.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 487 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button(×). That is 487 × 487
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer. Here, the square of 487 is 237169.
Tips and tricks make it easy for students to understand and learn the square of a number. To master the square of a number, these tips and tricks will help students.
Mistakes are common among kids when doing math, especially when it is finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 237169 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 237169 cm²
So, the length = √237169 = 487.
The length of each side = 487 cm
The length of a square is 487 cm.
Because the area is 237169 cm² the length is √237169 = 487.
Alice is designing a square garden with a length of 487 feet. The cost to lay grass per square foot is 2 dollars. How much will it cost to cover the entire garden?
The length of the garden = 487 feet
The cost to lay grass per square foot = 2 dollars.
To find the total cost, we find the area of the garden.
Area of the garden = area of the square = a²
Here a = 487
Therefore, the area of the garden = 487² = 487 × 487 = 237169.
The cost to lay grass in the garden = 237169 × 2 = 474338.
The total cost = 474338 dollars
To find the cost to lay grass in the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to lay grass per square foot. So, the total cost is 474338 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 487 meters.
The area of the circle = 745575.14 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 487
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 487² = 3.14 × 487 × 487 = 745575.14 m².
The area of the square is 237169 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 1948 cm.
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 237169 cm²
The length of the side is √237169 = 487
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 487
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 487 = 1948.
Find the square of 488.
The square of 488 is 238144
The square of 488 is multiplying 488 by 488. So, the square = 488 × 488 = 238144
