What is the Square Root of 625?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 625 is a perfect square. The square root of 625 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √625, whereas 625^(1/2) in the exponential form. √625 = 25, which is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Square Root of 625 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 625 is broken down into its prime factors.

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 625 Breaking it down, we get 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 5^4

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 625. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 625 is a perfect square, the digits can be grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating √625 using prime factorization gives 5 x 5 = 25.

Verification by Multiplication

To verify our finding, we can multiply the square root by itself to see if we get the original number.

 

Step 1: Multiply 25 by itself. 25 x 25 = 625 Since we get 625, our calculation of the square root is correct.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √625?

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

The area of the square is 625 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √625.

Area of the square = side^2 = √625 x √625 = 25 x 25 = 625.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 625 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 625 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √625, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

312.5 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 625 by 2 = we get 312.5

So half of the building measures 312.5 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √625 x 4.

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

100

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 625, which is 25.

The second step is to multiply 25 with 4. So 25 x 4 = 100.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (400 + 225)?

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

The square root is 25.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (400 + 225). 400 + 225 = 625, and then √625 = 25.

Therefore, the square root of (400 + 225) is ±25.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a square if its side is √625 units.

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

The perimeter of the square is 100 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the square = 4 × side. Perimeter = 4 × √625 = 4 × 25 = 100 units.
