If a number is multiplied by the same number, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in various fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 7825.
The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 7825 is not a perfect square. The square root of 7825 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √7825, whereas (7825)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √7825 ≈ 88.436, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 7825 is broken down into its prime factors.
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 7825 Breaking it down, we get 5 x 5 x 313: \(5^2 \times 313^1\)
Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 7825. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 7825 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating 7825 using prime factorization is impossible.
The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. 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 7825, we group it as 78 and 25.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is 64. We can say n as ‘8’ because 8 x 8 is lesser than or equal to 78. Now the quotient is 8 after subtracting 64 from 78, the remainder is 14
Step 3: Now let us bring down 25 which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 8 + 8 we get 16 which will be our new divisor.
Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 16n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.
Step 5: The next step is finding 16n x n ≤ 1425. Let us consider n as 8, now 16 x 8 + 8 = 136 Step 6: Subtract 136 from 1425, the difference is 89, and the quotient is 88.
Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeros to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 8900.
Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 883 because 883 x 10 = 8830.
Step 9: Subtracting 8830 from 8900 we get the result 70.
Step 10: Now the quotient is 88.4.
Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero. So the square root of √7825 ≈ 88.44.
The approximation method is another method for finding the square roots; 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 7825 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √7825. The smallest perfect square near 7825 is 7744 and the largest perfect square near 7825 is 7921. √7825 falls somewhere between 88 and 89.
Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula that is (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Going by the formula (7825 - 7744) / (7921 - 7744) = 81 / 177 = 0.457 Using the formula, we identified the decimal point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number which is 88 + 0.457 = 88.457, so the square root of 7825 is approximately 88.457.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, similarly forgetting about the negative square root or skipping long division methods, etc. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √7825?
The area of the square is 7825 square units.
The area of the square = side². The side length is given as √7825. Area of the square = side² = √7825 x √7825 = 7825. Therefore, the area of the square box is 7825 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 7825 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √7825, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
3912.5 square feet
We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped. Dividing 7825 by 2 = we get 3912.5 So half of the building measures 3912.5 square feet.
Calculate √7825 x 5.
442.18
The first step is to find the square root of 7825, which is approximately 88.44. The second step is to multiply 88.44 with 5. So, 88.44 x 5 = 442.18.
What will be the square root of (7825 + 6)?
The square root is approximately 88.470
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (7825 + 6): 7825 + 6 = 7831, and then √7831 ≈ 88.470. Therefore, the square root of (7825 + 6) is approximately ±88.470.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √7825 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 253.88 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) Perimeter = 2 × (√7825 + 38) = 2 × (88.44 + 38) = 2 × 126.44 = 253.88 units.
