What is the Square Root of 1728?

The square root is the inverse of squaring a number. 1728 is a perfect square. The square root of 1728 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √1728, whereas (1728)^(1/2) is its exponential form. √1728 = 41.569219, which is a rational number because it can be expressed as an integer.

Finding the Square Root of 1728

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. For non-perfect squares, methods like long division and approximation are used. Let's now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 1728 by Prime Factorization Method

The prime factorization of a number is the product of its prime factors. Let's see how 1728 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1728 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3: 2^6 x 3^3

 

Step 2: The prime factors of 1728 can be grouped in pairs, allowing us to find the square root using prime factorization. √1728 = (2^6 x 3^3)^(1/2) = 2^3 x 3^(3/2) = 12 x 3 = 36

Square Root of 1728 by Long Division Method

The long division method is used for both perfect and non-perfect square numbers. Here's how to find the square root using the long division method step by step:

 

Step 1: Begin by grouping the numbers from right to left. In the case of 1728, we group it as 17 and 28.

 

Step 2: Find n whose square is less than or equal to 17. We choose n as 4 because 4 x 4 = 16. The quotient is 4 and the remainder is 1.

 

Step 3: Bring down 28 to get a new dividend of 128. Add the old divisor with the same number, 4 + 4 = 8, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: Find n such that 8n x n ≤ 128. If n = 1, then 81 x 1 = 81.

 

Step 5: Subtract 81 from 128 to get a remainder of 47. The quotient is 41.

 

Step 6: Bring down two zeros to form 4700 as the new dividend.

 

Step 7: Find a new divisor that results in 419 x 9 = 3771.

 

Step 8: Subtract 3771 from 4700 to get 929. The quotient is now 41.9.

 

Step 9: Continue these steps until you achieve the desired decimal precision.

 

Thus, √1728 ≈ 41.57.

Square Root of 1728 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another way to find square roots. Let's see how to find the square root of 1728 using the approximation method:

 

Step 1: Identify the closest perfect squares to √1728.

The closest perfect square less than 1728 is 1600, and the closest perfect square greater than 1728 is 1764.

√1728 falls between 40 and 42.

 

Step 2: Apply the formula:

(Given number - closest smaller perfect square) ÷ (closest larger perfect square - closest smaller perfect square).

(1728 - 1600) ÷ (1764 - 1600) = 128 ÷ 164 = 0.78048

 

Add the result to the smaller square root: 40 + 0.78048 ≈ 40.78

Problem 1

Can you help Sam find the area of a square box if its side length is √1728?

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

The area of the square is 1728 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2. The side length is given as √1728. Area = (√1728)^2 = 1728. Therefore, the area of the square box is 1728 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped land measuring 1728 square feet is constructed; if each of the sides is √1728, what will be the square feet of half of the land?

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

864 square feet

Explanation

Since the land is square-shaped, we can divide the given area by 2. 1728 ÷ 2 = 864 So, half of the land measures 864 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √1728 x 5.

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

207.85

Explanation

First, find the square root of 1728, which is approximately 41.57. Then multiply 41.57 by 5. 41.57 x 5 = 207.85

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (1600 + 128)?

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

The square root is 42.

Explanation

To find the square root, calculate the sum (1600 + 128). 1600 + 128 = 1728, and √1728 = 41.57, rounded to 42. Therefore, the square root of (1600 + 128) is approximately ±42.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1728 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 159.14 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) Perimeter = 2 × (√1728 + 38) = 2 × (41.57 + 38) = 2 × 79.57 = 159.14 units.
