What is the Square Root of 590?

The square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number. 590 is not a perfect square. The square root of 590 can be expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √590, whereas in exponential form, it is expressed as (590)^(1/2). √590 ≈ 24.29, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 590

The prime factorization method is suitable for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, methods such as long division and approximation are used. Let us learn these methods: Prime factorization method Long division method Approximation method

Square Root of 590 by Prime Factorization Method

Prime factorization involves expressing a number as a product of its prime factors. Let's see how 590 is broken down into its prime factors: Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 590 Breaking it down, we get 590 = 2 x 5 x 59, where 2, 5, and 59 are prime numbers. Step 2: Since 590 is not a perfect square, we can't group the digits into pairs. Therefore, calculating √590 using prime factorization is not feasible.

Square Root of 590 by Long Division Method

The long division method is used for non-perfect square numbers. This method involves finding the closest perfect square number to the given number. Let's calculate the square root using the long division method, step by step: Step 1: Group the numbers from right to left. For 590, group it as 90 and 5. Step 2: Find n such that n² is ≤ 5. We choose n as 2 because 2² = 4 ≤ 5. The quotient is 2. Subtract 4 from 5 to get a remainder of 1. Step 3: Bring down 90 to form the new dividend, 190. Double the quotient (2), giving us a new divisor of 4. Step 4: Find n such that 4n × n ≤ 190. Using n = 4, we get 44 x 4 = 176. Step 5: Subtract 176 from 190 to get 14. The quotient is now 24. Step 6: Since the remainder is smaller than the divisor, add a decimal point. Add two zeros to the dividend, making it 1400. Step 7: Find a new divisor. Let it be 489, because 489 x 3 = 1467. Step 8: Subtract 1467 from 1400 to get 33. The quotient is approximately 24.29. Continue steps until you reach the desired precision. So, √590 ≈ 24.29.

Square Root of 590 by Approximation Method

The approximation method provides an easy way to find square roots. Let's calculate √590 using this method. Step 1: Identify the perfect squares closest to 590. The nearest perfect squares are 576 (24²) and 625 (25²). √590 lies between 24 and 25. Step 2: Use the formula: (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square) (590 - 576) / (625 - 576) = 14 / 49 ≈ 0.29 Adding this to 24 gives 24 + 0.29 = 24.29, so √590 ≈ 24.29.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It's important to remember that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we generally take only the positive square root, as it's often the required one. For example, √50 ≈ 7.07, but there's also -7.07.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √590?

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

The area of the square is approximately 590 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side². The side length is √590. Area = (√590)² = 590 square units. Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 590 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped garden measuring 590 square meters is to be created. If each side is √590, what will be the area of half of the garden?

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

295 square meters

Explanation

To find half the area of the garden, divide the total area by 2: 590 / 2 = 295 square meters.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (590 + 10)?

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

The square root is approximately 24.5.

Explanation

Find the sum 590 + 10 = 600. Then, √600 ≈ 24.5.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length 'l' is √590 units and the width 'w' is 30 units.

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

The perimeter is approximately 108.58 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√590 + 30) ≈ 2 × (24.29 + 30) = 2 × 54.29 ≈ 108.58 units.
