FOR ONLINE USE ONLY DO NOT DUPLICATE Chapter Ten Square numbers and square roots Introduction In this chapter, you will learn how to calculate square numbers not exceeding 10 000. You will also learn how to find the square root of square numbers LY of up to three digits, and to solve word problems involving square numbers and square roots. This competence will help you when dealing with large or small numbers, taking measurements, when describing computer’s N memory, dealing with growth of different things such as bacteria, finance, O interests and so on. Square numbers SE A square number is a number which is obtained by multiplying a number by itself. That is, a square of a number is the product of the given number and itself. U Finding square numbers by counting dots E Example 1 N LI Study carefully the arrangement of dots in the following table: (a) Write the number of dots in each set. N (b) Multiply the number of horizontal and vertical dots. (c) Write the product obtained after multiplying the horizontal and vertical O dots. R Multiply the number of Arrangement of dots Product horizontal and vertical dots FO 1×1 1 2×2 4 162 MATH std 5.indd 162 30/07/2021 14:49 FOR ONLINE USE ONLY DO NOT DUPLICATE 3×3 9 5×5 25 LY In this example, the square numbers are 1, 4, 9 and 25. N Finding square numbers using geometrical squares O Example 2 SE Study carefully the number of small squares in each of the following large squares, and then, find a relationship between the number of small squares U and square numbers. E 1×1=1 N 2×2=4 LI 3×3=9 N O R FO 4 × 4 = 16 5 × 5 = 25 163 MATH std 5.indd 163 30/07/2021 14:49 FOR ONLINE USE ONLY DO NOT DUPLICATE The number of small squares in each large square is a square number. Therefore, the square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25. A number being multiplied by itself is said to be squared. For example, 5 ​× 5 = ​52 is five squared, 3​× ​3 = 32 is three squared, 4​× ​4 = 42 is four squared and so on. Example 3 LY Write the square number of each of the following numbers: (a) 7 (b) 10 (c) 11 N Solution O (a) ​7  ×  7  = 49​. Therefore, 49 is the square number of 7. (b) ​10  ×  10 = 100​. Therefore, 100 is the square number of 10. (c) ​11  ×  11  =  121​. Therefore, 121 is the square number of 11. Exercise 1 SE U Answer the following questions: 1.

Write TRUE or FALSE against each of the following statements: O (a) All square numbers are divisible by 6. _____ (b) The product of any counting number by itself is a square number. _____ SE A number raised to two U A square number can be written as a number raised to two as follows: (a) ​9 = 3 × 3 = 3​2​​  ​​ is read as three squared or three raised to two. E (b) 4​ = 2 × 2 = 22 ​ is read as two squared or two raised to two. N (c) ​16 = 4 × 4 = 42 ​ is read as four squared or four raised to two. (d) ​49 = 7 × 7 = 72​ is read as seven squared or seven raised to two. LI Therefore, a number raised to two shows that it has been multiplied by itself.
