Using a Formula (\(a^2\))

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 = a × a

 

Step 2: Identifying the number and substituting the value in the equation.

 

Here, ‘a’ is 526. So: 5262 = 526 × 526 = 276676

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 526.

 

Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator. Enter 526 in the calculator.

 

Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button (×). That is 526 × 526.

 

Step 3: Press the equal button to find the answer. Here, the square of 526 is 276676.

 

Tips and Tricks for the Square of 526

 

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).

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 276676 cm².

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

The area of a square = (a2) So, the area of a square = 276676 cm²

So, the length = (276676 = 526).

The length of each side = 526 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 526 cm.

Because the area is 276676 cm², the length is (276676 = 526).

Problem 2

Sarah is designing a square garden with a side length of 526 feet. If she wants to install a fence that costs 5 dollars per foot, how much will it cost to enclose the entire garden?

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

The length of the garden = 526 feet The cost to install a fence per foot = 5 dollars.

To find the total cost to enclose, we find the perimeter of the garden, Perimeter of the garden = 4a

Here, a = 526 Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 526 = 2104.

The cost to enclose the garden = 2104 × 5 = 10520.

The total cost = 10520 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to enclose the garden, we multiply the perimeter of the garden by the cost to install per foot. So, the total cost is 10520 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 526 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 869770.04 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = (pi r2)

Here, r = 526 Therefore, the area of the circle = pi × 5262 = 3.14 × 526 × 526 = 869770.04 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 275625 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is

Explanation

The area of the square = (a2)

Here, the area is 275625 cm²

The length of the side is (275625 = 525) Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 525 Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 525 = 2100.
