The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In this topic, we will discuss the square of 688.
The square of a number is the product of the number itself. The square of 688 is 688 × 688. The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. We write it in math as (6882), where 688 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive.
For example, (52 = 25); ((-5)2 = 25).
The square of 688 is 688 × 688 = 473,344.
Square of 688 in exponential form: (6882)
Square of 688 in arithmetic form: 688 × 688
The square of a number is multiplying the number by itself. So let’s learn how to find the square of a number. These are the common methods used to find the square of a number.
In this method, we will multiply the number by itself to find the square. The product here is the square of the number. Let’s find the square of 688.
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 688.
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 688 × 688 = 473,344.
The square of 688 is 473,344.
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 688.
So: (6882 = 688 × 688 = 473,344\)
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 688.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator Enter 688 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button(×) That is 688 × 688
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer Here, the square of 688 is 473,344.
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.
Mistakes are common among kids when doing math, especially when it is finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 473,344 cm².
The area of a square = (a2)
So, the area of a square = 473,344 cm²
So, the length = (sqrt{473,344} = 688).
The length of each side = 688 cm
The length of a square is 688 cm. Because the area is 473,344 cm² the length is (sqrt{473,344} = 688).
Sarah is planning to carpet her square room of length 688 feet. The cost to carpet a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to carpet the full room?
The length of the room = 688 feet
The cost to carpet 1 square foot of the room = 5 dollars.
To find the total cost to carpet, we find the area of the room,
Area of the room = area of the square = (a2)
Here a = 688
Therefore, the area of the room = (6882 = 688 × 688 = 473,344).
The cost to carpet the room = 473,344 × 5 = 2,366,720.
The total cost = 2,366,720 dollars
To find the cost to carpet the room, we multiply the area of the room by cost to carpet per foot. So, the total cost is 2,366,720 dollars.
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 688 meters.
The area of the circle = 1,487,949.76 m²
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 688
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 688²
= 3.14 × 688 × 688
= 1,487,949.76 m².
The area of the square is 473,344 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 2,752 cm.
The area of the square = (a2)
Here, the area is 473,344 cm²
The length of the side is (sqrt{473,344} = 688)
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 688
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 688 = 2,752 cm.
Find the square of 689.
The square of 689 is 474,721.
The square of 689 is multiplying 689 by 689. So, the square = 689 × 689 = 474,721.
