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 53.
What is the Square of 53
The square of a number is the product of the number itself. The square of 53 is 53 × 53. The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. We write it in math as 53², where 53 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive.
For example, 5² = 25; (-5)² = 25.
The square of 53 is 53 × 53 = 2809.
Square of 53 in exponential form: 53²
Square of 53 in arithmetic form: 53 × 53
How to Calculate the Value of Square of 53
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.
- By Multiplication Method

- Using a Calculator
By the Multiplication method
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 53.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 53.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 53 × 53 = 2809.
The square of 53 is 2809.
Using a Formula (a²)
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 53.
So: 53² = 53 × 53 = 2809
By Using a Calculator
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 53.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator Enter 53 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×) That is 53 × 53
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer Here, the square of 53 is 2809.
Tips and Tricks for the Square of 53
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.
- The square of an even number is always an even number. For example, 6² = 36
- The square of an odd number is always an odd number. For example, 5² = 25
- The last digit of the square of a number is always 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
- If the square root of a number is a fraction or a decimal, then the number is not a perfect square. For example, √1.44 = 1.2
- The square root of a perfect square is always a whole number. For example, √144 = 12.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Square of 53
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.
Mistake 1
Calculation errors:
Calculation errors mostly happen when students skip the steps or else by swapping the digits. To avoid it, students should double-check the answer. They can double-check by finding the square root of the solution they found.
For example, the square of 25 is 625, and the square root of 625 is ±25.
Solved Examples on Square of 53
Problem 1
A square garden has an area of 2809 square meters. What is the length of one side of the garden?
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 2809 m²
So, the length = √2809 = 53.
The length of each side = 53 meters
Explanation
The length of a side of the garden is 53 meters. Because the area is 2809 m², the length is √2809 = 53.
Problem 2
Sarah wants to create a square painting with a side length of 53 cm. If each square centimeter of the painting requires 2 units of paint, how many units of paint will she need in total?
The length of the painting = 53 cm
The paint required for 1 square centimeter = 2 units
To find the total paint required, we calculate the area of the painting,
Area of the painting = area of the square = a²
Here a = 53
Therefore, the area of the painting = 53² = 53 × 53 = 2809.
The paint required = 2809 × 2 = 5618 units
The total paint needed = 5618 units
Explanation
To find the total paint required for the painting, we multiply the area of the painting by the paint required per square centimeter. So, the total paint needed is 5618 units.
Problem 3
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 53 meters.
The area of the circle = 8,821.34 m²
Explanation
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 53
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 53²
= 3.14 × 53 × 53
= 8821.34 m².
Problem 4
The area of the square is 2809 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 212 cm.
Explanation
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 2809 cm²
The length of the side is √2809 = 53
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 53
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 53 = 212 cm.
Problem 5
Find the square of 54.
The square of 54 is 2916.
Explanation
The square of 54 is multiplying 54 by 54.
So, the square = 54 × 54 = 2916.
