SQUARE ROOT & CUBE ROOT
SYNOPSIS - 1
Definition of square and square root : If a number is multiplied by itself
then the product is said to be square of that number.
Example : 25 is the square of 5 scince 5 5 25 . The number is called a
square root of the product. 5 is a square root of 25.
Perfect square number or perfect square: If a number can be written as
the product of two equal factors then the number is said to be a perfect
square,
Example: 81 can be written as 81 = 9 9 (two equal factors). So 81 is a
perfect square.
Number Square of Last two digits in the Number

Historical Method: Finding 5 to any required degree of accuracy.
Step 1 :- First take any number between 1 and 24 (say 4) Divide 24 by 4
24 4 is 6
42 16 4 6 24 62 36
Taking the square root, both sides, we get 4 24 6
4 6 10
Step 2:- Next, take 5, the mean of 4 and 6 5
2 2
24 5 is 4.8. Hence 4.8 24 5 .
4.8 5 9.8
Step 3:- Take 4.9 the mean of 4.8 and 5 [Mean (Average)= 4.9 ]
2 2
24 4.9 ; 4.898 (approximately)
Hence 4.898 24 4.9
Note: 1) At each stage, this process produces two number, between which 24
must lie.
2) The difference between these numbers decreases at each stage. For
example, at the end of stage 2, 24 is squeezed (sandwiched) between 4.8
and 5.
So we could say that 24 4.9 0.1 . At the end stage 3, we could similarly
say that

MATHEMATICS SQUARE ROOT & CUBE ROOT
1. If the number of rows be ‘x’ then total number of plants = x × x = x 2
but x2 = 1225 (given) x = 1225
Clearly, 1225 = 5 × 5 × 7 × 7. So, 1225 = 5 × 7 = 35.
x = 35.
2. 8 × 9 × 10 × 11 × 12 = 23 × 32 × 2 × 5 × 11 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 26 × 33 × 5 × 11
= (26 × 32) × 3 × 5 × 11 = (26 × 32) × 165
3. 15 × 16 × 17 × 18 = 240 × 17 × 18 = 73440.
73440 + 1 = 73441 which is a perfect square. (By long division method)
1 should be added to the product.
4. If daughter’s age is 8 years, then the father’s age = (8)2 = 64.
Sum of the ages is 8 + 64 = 72.
Father’s age = 64.
5. Let the age of Anish be ‘x’ years and rank of Anish be ‘y’ years,
then x × y2 = 128 and x2 × y = 256
If x = 8, then 8 × y2 = 128
128
y2 = = 16.
8
y = 4, i.e., 8 × (4)2 = 128.
Age of Anish is 8 years.
6. 69120 = 3 × 5 × 4 × 8 × 2 × 2 × 6 × 6 = 29 × 33 × 5 = (28 × 32) × 2 × 3 × 5 = (28
× 32) × 30
30 should be multiplied to make 69120 to be a perfect square.
7. Let the least possible number be ‘x’.
According to the problem, x2 + 102+ 112 = x2 + 100 + 121 = x2 + 221
This becomes a perfect square if x = 2.
i.e., (2)2 + 221 = 4 + 221 = 225.
Possible number = 2.
8. Since 130 × 130 = 16,900 is a perfect square.
but 650 × 26 = 16,900 is a least perfect square containing 650 as a factor.
9. 5th multiple of 8 is = 5 × 8 = 40; 402 + 92 = 1681, 1681 41

6. [1] The area of the largest possible square = 324 sq. units
side of the square = 18 units perimeter of the square = 72 units
length of the fencing = 72 units
7. [3] Perfect squares less than 540 are 529, 484, 441, 400 .................
529 = 232 × 12 (Here 1 is not prime]
484 = 222 = 112×22 [Here 11 and 2 are prime numbers]
540 – 484 = 56 is the required number.
