What is the Square of 0.05
The square of a number is the product of the number with itself. The square of 0.05 is 0.05 × 0.05. The square of a number can be a decimal and is not limited to ending in specific digits. We write it in math as 0.05², where 0.05 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The square of a positive number is always positive. For example, 0.05² = 0.0025.
The square of 0.05 is 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.0025.
Square of 0.05 in exponential form: 0.05²
Square of 0.05 in arithmetic form: 0.05 × 0.05
How to Calculate the Value of Square of 0.05
The square of a number involves multiplying the number by itself. Let’s explore methods to find the square of a number.
- By Multiplication Method
- Using a Formula
- Using a Calculator
By the Multiplication method
In this method, we multiply the number by itself to find the square. The product here is the square of the number. Let’s find the square of 0.05
Step 1: Identify the number. Here, the number is 0.05
Step 2: Multiplying the number by itself, we get, 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.0025.
The square of 0.05 is 0.0025.
Using a Formula (a²)
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 0.05 So: 0.05² = 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.0025
By Using a Calculator
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 0.05.
Step 1: Enter the number in the calculator Enter 0.05 in the calculator.
Step 2: Multiply the number by itself using the multiplication button(×) That is 0.05 × 0.05
Step 3: Press the equal to button to find the answer Here, the square of 0.05 is 0.0025.
Tips and Tricks for the Square of 0.05: 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 a fraction is always a smaller fraction.
- The last digit of the square of a number is not limited to specific digits when dealing with decimals.
- The square of a number less than 1 results in a number smaller than the original.
- The square root of a perfect square is always a whole number.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Square of 0.05
Mistakes are common when doing math, especially when finding the square of a number. Let’s learn some common mistakes to master the squaring of a number.
Mistake 1
Calculation errors:
Calculation errors often happen when students skip steps or swap digits. To avoid them, students should double-check their answers. They can double-check by finding the square root of the solution they found. For example, the square of 0.1 is 0.01, and the square root of 0.01 is ±0.1.
Solved Examples on Square of 0.05
Problem 1
Find the length of a side of a square if the area of the square is 0.0025 m².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of the square = 0.0025 m²
Thus, the length = √0.0025 = 0.05.
The length of each side = 0.05 m
Explanation
The length of a square is 0.05 m.
Because the area is 0.0025 m², the length is √0.0025 = 0.05.
Problem 2
A landscaper is laying tiles each measuring 0.05 m on a square plot of land. Each tile costs $2. How much will it cost to cover an area of 0.0025 m²?
The length of the tile = 0.05 m
The cost to lay one tile = $2
To find the total cost, we find the area of the plot,
Area of the plot = area of the square = a²
Here a = 0.05
Therefore, the area of the plot = 0.05² = 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.0025.
The cost to cover the plot = 0.0025 × 2 = $0.005 The total cost = $0.005
Explanation
To find the cost to cover the plot, we multiply the area by the cost per unit area. So, the total cost is $0.005.
Problem 3
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 0.05 m.
The area of the circle = 0.00785 m²
Explanation
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 0.05
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 0.05² = 3.14 × 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.00785 m².
Problem 4
The area of a square is 0.0025 m². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 0.2 m
Explanation
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 0.0025 m²
The length of the side is √0.0025 = 0.05
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 0.05
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 0.05 = 0.2.
Problem 5
Find the square of 0.06.
The square of 0.06 is 0.0036
Explanation
The square of 0.06 is multiplying 0.06 by 0.06. So, the square = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.0036
