What is the Square Root of 529?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 529 is a perfect square. The square root of 529 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √529, whereas (529)(1/2) in the exponential form. √529 = 23, 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 529

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Since 529 is a perfect square, we can use the prime factorization method. Other methods such as the long division method or approximation method can also be used but are not necessary in this case.

Square Root of 529 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 529 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 529 529 = 23 × 23 = 232

 

Step 2: Since 529 is a perfect square, we can take one number from each pair of identical factors.

 

The square root of 529 is 23.

Square Root of 529 by Long Division Method

The long division method can also be used for perfect square numbers. It involves dividing the number into groups from right to left and finding the square root step by step.

 

Step 1: Group the digits of 529 from right to left as (5, 29).

 

Step 2: Find a number whose square is less than or equal to 5. The number is 2 because 2 × 2 = 4. Subtract 4 from 5, giving a remainder of 1. Bring down the next pair, 29, making it 129.

 

Step 3: Double the quotient (2) to get 4, which will be part of our new divisor.

 

Step 4: Find a digit (n) such that 4n × n ≤ 129. n is 3 because 43 × 3 = 129.

 

Step 5: Subtract 129 from 129 to get a remainder of 0. The quotient is 23, so the square root of 529 is 23.

Square Root of 529 by Approximation Method

Since 529 is a perfect square, the approximation method isn't necessary. However, for illustration:

 

Step 1: Identify two perfect squares between which 529 lies. Here, it is already a perfect square, i.e., 232 = 529.

 

Step 2: Since 529 is a perfect square, its square root is exactly 23.

Square Root of 529 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

What is the side length of a square with an area of 529 square units?

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

The side length of the square is 23 units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side2.

 

Given that the area is 529, we solve for the side length: side = √529 = 23.

 

Therefore, the side length is 23 units.

Problem 2

If a square-shaped tile has a side length of √529, what is the perimeter of the tile?

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

The perimeter of the tile is 92 units.

Explanation

The side length of the tile is √529 = 23.

 

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so the perimeter is 4 × 23 = 92 units.

Problem 3

Calculate 2 × √529.

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

46

Explanation

The square root of 529 is 23.

 

Therefore, 2 × √529 = 2 × 23 = 46.

Problem 4

What is the square root of (529 - 4)?

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

The square root is 22.

Explanation

First, find the difference: 529 - 4 = 525.

 

The square root of 525 is approximately 22.91, but this question seems to have an error as 525 is not a perfect square.

 

The correct context would be using perfect squares.

Problem 5

What is the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √529 units and the width ‘w’ is 10 units?

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is 66 units.

Explanation

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

 

Perimeter = 2 × (√529 + 10) = 2 × (23 + 10) = 2 × 33 = 66 units.
