Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 979.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

What is the Square of 979

The square of a number is the product of the number itself. The square of 979 is 979 ร— 979. The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. We write it in math as 979ยฒ, where 979 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The square of a positive and a negative number is always positive. For example, 5ยฒ = 25; -5ยฒ = 25. The square of 979 is 979 ร— 979 = 958441. Square of 979 in exponential form: 979ยฒ Square of 979 in arithmetic form: 979 ร— 979

Calculation errors:

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Calculation errors mostly happen when students skip the steps or else by swapping the digits. To avoid it, students should double-check the answer. They can double-check by finding the square root of the solution they found. For example, the square of 25 is 625, and the square root of 625 is ยฑ25.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Errors will be using the formula.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

The formula to find the square of the number is aยฒ. Instead, students may use 979ยฒ with (9+7+9)ยฒ or (900+70+9)ยฒ. So students should check and use the correct formula and double-check the answers to avoid all the confusion.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing with square and square root.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Not understanding the concept of square and square root can lead to confusion in students. To avoid it, students should understand the concept that square and square root are inverse operations. The square of 5 is 25 and the square root of 25 is ยฑ5.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Errors in parentheses.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Ignoring the parentheses when finding the square of a number can lead to errors. So, students should understand parentheses and do the operations in the correct order to avoid error.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not practicing regularly.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Regular practice is required to master the square of a number. So students should do regular practice to avoid errors.

Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 958441 cmยฒ.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The area of a square = aยฒ So, the area of a square = 958441 cmยฒ So, the length = โˆš958441 = 979. The length of each side = 979 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 979 cm. Because the area is 958441 cmยฒ, the length is โˆš958441 = 979.

Problem 2

Sarah is planning to tile her square courtyard of length 979 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full courtyard?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The length of the courtyard = 979 feet The cost to tile 1 square foot of courtyard = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the courtyard, Area of the courtyard = area of the square = aยฒ Here a = 979 Therefore, the area of the courtyard = 979ยฒ = 979 ร— 979 = 958441. The cost to tile the courtyard = 958441 ร— 5 = 4792205. The total cost = 4792205 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the courtyard, we multiply the area of the courtyard by the cost to tile per foot. So, the total cost is 4792205 dollars.

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 979 meters.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The area of the circle = 3,008,246.66 mยฒ

Explanation

The area of a circle = ฯ€rยฒ Here, r = 979 Therefore, the area of the circle = ฯ€ ร— 979ยฒ = 3.14 ร— 979 ร— 979 = 3,008,246.66 mยฒ.
