Estimating Radicals

The document discusses perfect squares and square roots, explaining that a perfect square is a number that is the square of a whole number and can be represented by arranging objects in a square array. It provides examples of calculating square roots by factoring numbers into smaller perfect squares and estimating square roots for non-perfect squares by interpolating between adjacent perfect squares on a number line. The document includes activities for students to identify whether numbers are perfect squares and to calculate and estimate square roots.

 One property of a perfect
square is that it can be
represented by a square
4cm array.
 Each small square in the array
4cm 16 cm2 shown has a side length of
1cm.
 The large square has a side
length of 4 cm.
Square Numbers
 The large square has an area
of 4cm x 4cm = 16 cm2.
4cm

 The number 4 is called the


4cm 16 cm2
square root of 16.

 We write: 4= 16
Square Root
 A number which, when
multiplied by itself, results in
another number.

 Ex: 5 is the square root of 25.

5 = 25
Finding Square Roots
 We can use the following
strategy to find a square root of
a large number.

4x9 = 4 x 9
36 = 2 x 3
6 = 6
Finding Square Roots
4x9 = 4 9
36 = 2 x 3
6 = 6
 We can factor large perfect
squares into smaller perfect
squares to simplify.
Finding Square Roots
 Activity: Find the square root of 256

= 4 x 64
=2 x 8
= 16

Since 27 is not a perfect square, we
have to use another method to
calculate it’s square root.
Estimating
Square Roots
Not all numbers are perfect
squares.
Not every number has an Integer
for a square root.
We have to estimate square roots
for numbers between perfect
squares.
Estimating
Square Roots
 To calculate the square root of a
non-perfect square

1. Place the values of the adjacent


perfect squares on a number line.

2. Interpolate between the points to


estimate to the nearest tenth.
