Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Square of 2.7
Mistakes are common in 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 mostly happen when students skip steps or swap 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 2.7 is 7.29, and the square root of 7.29 is ±2.7.
Solved Examples on Square of 2.7
Problem 1
Find the length of a square where the area is 7.29 cm².
The area of a square = a²
So, the area of a square = 7.29 cm²
So, the length = √7.29 = 2.7.
The length of each side = 2.7 cm
Explanation
The length of a square is 2.7 cm.
Because the area is 7.29 cm², the length is √7.29 = 2.7.
Problem 2
Anna wants to decorate her square cake with a side length of 2.7 meters. The decoration cost per square meter is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to decorate the full cake?
The length of the cake = 2.7 meters
The cost to decorate 1 square meter = 5 dollars.
To find the total cost to decorate, we find the area of the cake,
Area of the cake = area of the square = a²
Here a = 2.7
Therefore, the area of the cake = 2.7² = 2.7 × 2.7 = 7.29.
The cost to decorate the cake = 7.29 × 5 = 36.45.
The total cost = 36.45 dollars
Explanation
To find the cost to decorate the cake, we multiply the area of the cake by the cost to decorate per square meter. So, the total cost is 36.45 dollars.
Problem 3
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 2.7 meters.
The area of the circle = 22.899 m²
Explanation
The area of a circle = πr²
Here, r = 2.7
Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 2.7² = 3.14 × 2.7 × 2.7 = 22.899 m².
Problem 4
The area of a square is 7.29 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.
The perimeter of the square is 10.8 cm
Explanation
The area of the square = a²
Here, the area is 7.29 cm²
The length of the side is √7.29 = 2.7
Perimeter of the square = 4a
Here, a = 2.7
Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 2.7 = 10.8 cm.
Problem 5
Find the square of 3.
The square of 3 is 9
Explanation
The square of 3 is multiplying 3 by 3. So, the square = 3 × 3 = 9
