Question 2
Find the smallest number by which following number must be multiplied to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.
  1. 1008
  2. 1280
  3. 1875

Answer

(i)1008= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
We can see number 7 is not in pair, So to make a perfect square, it has to be multiplied by 7
Then number will become=7056
Now
7056= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7
$\sqrt {7056} =2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7=84$
(ii)1280=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
We can see number 5 is not in pair, So to make a perfect square, it has to be multiplied by 5
Then number will become=6400
Now
6400= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
$\sqrt {6400} =2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5=80$
(iii)1875= 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5
We can see number 3 is not in pair, So to make a perfect square, it has to be multiplied by 3
Then number will become=5625
Now
5625= 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5
$\sqrt {5625} =3 \times 5 \times 5 =75$


Question 3.
676 students are to be sit in a hall  in such a way that each row contains as many students  as the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of students in each row.

Answer

Here we need to find the square root of the Number 676
676=2 x 2 x 13 x 13
$\sqrt {676} =2 \times 13 =26$
So There are 26 rows and each rows has 26 students


Question 4.
What could be the possible ‘one’s’ digits of the square root of each of the following numbers?
(i) 1801
(ii) 856
(iii) 1008001
(iv) 6577525

Answer

(i)Last digit is 1 , So one digit can be 1 or 9 as $1^2=1$ and $9^2=81$
(ii)Last digit is 5 , So one digit can be 4 or 6 as $4^2=16$ and $6^2=36$
(i)Last digit is 1 , So one digit can be 1 or 9 as $1^2=1$ and $9^2=81$
(i)Last digit is 5 , So one digit will be 5 as $5^2=25$


Question 5.
The students of a class arranged a gift for the class teacher. Each student contributed as many rupees as the number of students in the class. If the total contribution is Rs 1521, find the strength of the class.

Answer

Here we need to find the square root of the Number 1521
1521= 3 x 3 x 13 x 13
$\sqrt {1521} =3 \times 13=39$
So There are 39 students and each contributed has Rs 39


Question 6.
Find the least number which when added to 4529 to make it a perfect square?

Answer

Let us find the square root of 4529 using Long division method

So remainder is 40
Therfore $67^2 < 4529$
Next perfect square would be $68^2=4624$
hence the number to be added = 4624 - 4529 = 95
So addition of 95 to 4529 will make it perfect square


Question 7.
Find the least number which must be subtracted from 2361 to make it a perfect square?

Answer

Let us find the square root of 2361 using Long division method

So remainder is 57
Therfore $48^2 < 2361$
Now if we subtract the remainder from main number, it will be perfect square So subtraction of 57 from 2361 will make it perfect square


Question 8
Find the smallest number by which following number must be divided to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.
(i)600
(ii)2904

Answer

(i) 600= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
We can see number 2 and 3 is not in pair, So to make a perfect square, it has to be divided by 6
Then number will become=100
Now
100= 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
$\sqrt {100} =2 \times 5 =10$
(ii)2904=2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 11
We can see number 2 and 3 is not in pair, So to make a perfect square, it has to be divided by 6
Then number will become=484
Now
484= 2 x 2 x 11 x 11
$\sqrt {484} =2 \times 11 =22$


Question 9
Find the value of
$ \sqrt {176 + \sqrt {2401}}$

Answer

$ \sqrt {176 + \sqrt {2401}} = \sqrt {176 + 49} = \sqrt {225} =15$


Question 10
Find the square root
(i).0151129
(ii) 83.3569

Answer

Square roots for decimal are found using the same long division method. We put bars on both integral part and decimal part.For integral we move fron the unit's place close to the decimal and move towards left. For decimal part, we start from the decimal and move towards right
(i) By long division method

$\sqrt {.0151129}=.123$
(ii) By long division method

$\sqrt {83.3569}=9.13$
