Tips and Tricks for the Square of 147 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 21,609 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 21,609 cm² So, the length = √21,609 = 147. The length of each side = 147 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 147 cm.

 

Because the area is 21,609 cm² the length is √21,609 = 147.

Problem 2

Emily wants to decorate a square garden of length 147 meters. The cost to decorate a meter is 10 dollars. Then how much will it cost to decorate the full garden?

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

The length of the garden = 147 meters The cost to decorate 1 square meter of the garden = 10 dollars. To find the total cost to decorate, we find the area of the garden, Area of the garden = area of the square = a² Here a = 147 Therefore, the area of the garden = 147² = 147 × 147 = 21,609. The cost to decorate the garden = 21,609 × 10 = 216,090. The total cost = 216,090 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to decorate the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by cost to decorate per meter.

 

So, the total cost is 216,090 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 147 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 67,985.49 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 147

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 147²

 

= 3.14 × 147 × 147

 

= 67,985.49 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 21,609 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 21,609 cm²

 

The length of the side is √21,609 = 147

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 147

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 147 = 588.
