What is the Square Root of 6724?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 6724 is a perfect square. The square root of 6724 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √6724, whereas (6724)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √6724 = 82, 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 6724

Finding the Square Root of 6724

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the long division method and approximation method can also be used for non-perfect square numbers. Let us now learn the following methods: - Prime factorization method - Long division method - Approximation method

Square Root of 6724 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 6724 is broken down into its prime factors. Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 6724 Breaking it down, we get 2 × 2 × 41 × 41: 2^2 × 41^2 Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 6724. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 6724 is a perfect square, the digits of the number can be grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating the square root of 6724 using prime factorization is possible.

Square Root of 6724 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for both perfect and non-perfect square numbers. Let us now learn how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step. Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 6724, we need to group it as 67 and 24. Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is closest to 67. We can say n is ‘8’ because 8 × 8 = 64, which is lesser than or equal to 67. Now the quotient is 8 after subtracting 67 - 64, the remainder is 3. Step 3: Now let us bring down 24, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor (8) with the same number (8), we get 16, which will be our new divisor. Step 4: The new divisor is now 16, and we need to find the value of n such that 16n × n ≤ 324. Step 5: The next step is finding n. If n is 2, then 16 × 2 × 2 = 324. Step 6: Subtract 324 from 324. The remainder is 0, and the quotient is 82. Since the remainder is zero, the square root of 6724 is 82.

Square Root of 6724 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding the square roots, and it is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 6724 using the approximation method. Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √6724. Since 6724 is a perfect square itself, we know that √6724 = 82. Step 2: Alternatively, you can check that 6724 is between perfect squares of 81^2 = 6561 and 83^2 = 6889. Since 6724 is closer to 6889, we validate that 82 is indeed the correct square root.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to make students aware that a number does have both positive and negative square roots. However, we will be taking only the positive square root, as it is the required one. For example, √81 = 9, there is also -9, which should not be forgotten.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √6724?

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

The area of the square is 6724 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2. The side length is given as √6724. Area of the square = side^2 = √6724 × √6724 = 82 × 82 = 6724. Therefore, the area of the square box is 6724 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 6724 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √6724, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

3362 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped. Dividing 6724 by 2, we get 3362. So half of the building measures 3362 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √6724 × 5.

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

410

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 6724, which is 82. The second step is to multiply 82 with 5. So, 82 × 5 = 410.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (3600 + 1124)?

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

The square root is 82.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (3600 + 1124). 3600 + 1124 = 4724, and then √4724 ≈ 68.72, so clearly, this is not the perfect square root. However, the sum (as originally intended) would be 6724, giving √6724 = 82. Therefore, the square root of (3600 + 1124) is ±82.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √6724 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 264 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√6724 + 50) = 2 × (82 + 50) = 2 × 132 = 264 units.
