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 216.

 

So: 216² = 216 × 216 = 46,656

Problem 1

Find the length of a square where the area of the square is 46,656 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 46,656 cm² So, the length = √46,656 = 216. The length of each side = 216 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 216 cm.

Because the area is 46,656 cm², the length is √46,656 = 216.

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 216 meters and a width of 100 meters. Calculate the area of the garden.

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

The length of the garden = 216 meters The width of the garden = 100 meters Area of the garden = length × width Area = 216 × 100 = 21,600 square meters

Explanation

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width.

So, the area of the garden is 21,600 square meters.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 216 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 146,778.24 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 216

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 216² = 3.14 × 216 × 216 = 146,778.24 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 46,656 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 864 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 46,656 cm²

The length of the side is √46,656 = 216

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 216

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 216 = 864 cm.
