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 various fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1111.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1111 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1111 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1111, whereas (1111)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √1111 ≈ 33.3317, 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.
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:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1111 is broken down into its prime factors.
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1111 Breaking it down, we get 11 × 101 as the prime factors of 1111.
Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1111. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 1111 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating 1111 using prime factorization is impossible.
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 1111, we need to group it as 11 and 11.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is 11. We can say n as ‘3’ because 3 × 3 is the closest to 11. Now the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 11 - 9 = 2.
Step 3: Bring down the next group of digits, which is 11, making it 211.
Step 4: Double the quotient and write it in the new divisor, which is 6.
Step 5: Append a digit x to 6 to get 6x, such that 6x × x is less than or equal to 211. Let x be 3, then 63 × 3 = 189.
Step 6: Subtract 189 from 211 to get a remainder of 22.
Step 7: Since the remainder is less than the divisor, add a decimal point and bring down two zeros to make it 2200.
Step 8: Double the previous quotient, which was 33, to get 66, and write it down.
Step 9: Repeat the steps to find the next digit. The process continues similarly to get more decimal places. So the square root of √1111 is approximately 33.33.
The approximation method is another method for finding 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 1111 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect squares of √1111. The smallest perfect square close to 1111 is 1024, and the largest perfect square is 1156. √1111 falls somewhere between 32 and 34.
Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula (1111 - 1024) / (1156 - 1024) ≈ 0.6914. Adding this to the smaller perfect square root value, we get 32 + 0.6914 ≈ 32.69, so the square root of 1111 is approximately 33.33.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root, skipping long division steps, etc. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Alex find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1111?
The area of the square is approximately 1234.4321 square units.
The area of the square = side².
The side length is given as √1111.
Area of the square = (√1111)² = 1111.
Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1234.4321 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 1111 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √1111, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
555.5 square feet
We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.
Dividing 1111 by 2 = we get 555.5.
So half of the building measures 555.5 square feet.
Calculate √1111 × 5.
Approximately 166.6585
The first step is to find the square root of 1111, which is approximately 33.3317.
The second step is to multiply 33.3317 with 5.
So 33.3317 × 5 ≈ 166.6585.
What will be the square root of (1111 + 25)?
The square root is approximately 34.29.
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (1111 + 25). 1111 + 25 = 1136, and then √1136 ≈ 33.69. Therefore, the square root of (1111 + 25) is approximately ±33.69.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1111 units and the width ‘w’ is 35 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 136.6634 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).
Perimeter = 2 × (√1111 + 35) ≈ 2 × (33.3317 + 35) ≈ 136.6634 units.
