(i) 64 (ii) 144  (iii)4489 (iv) 27225 (v)390625


Answer:

(i) Let us place bars and pair the digits from right to left, we get

64 =  64 

Since there is only one bar, the square root of 64 will have only one digit in it.

(ii) Let us place bars, we get

144 =  1   44 

Since there are two bars, the square root of 144 will have two digits in it.

(iii)By pairing digits from right to left, we have

4489 =  44   89 

Since there are two bars, the square root of 4489 will be of two digits.

(iv) By placing bars, we obtain

27225 =  2   72   25 

Since there are three bars, the square root of 27225 will be of three digits.

(v) By placing bars, we get

390625 =  39   06   25 

Since there are three bars, the square root of 27225 will be of three digits.

(i) 402   (ii) 1989  (iii) 3250  (iv) 825  (v) 4000


Answer:

(i) The square root of 402 is calculated as follows:



20
24 02
-4
4002
00

2

The remainder is 2. 
⇒ That the square of 20 is less than 402 by 2. 
∴  the required perfect square = 402 − 2 = 400
i.e. 400  = 20
(ii) The square root of 1989 is calculated as:



44
419 89
-16
84389
336

53

The remainder is 53. 
That the square of 44 is less than 1989 by 53. 
required perfect square = 1989 − 53 = 1936

i.e. √ 1936  = 44

(iii) The square root of 3250 is calculated as follows:



57
532 50
-25
107750
749

1

The remainder is 1. 
⇒ that the square of 57 is less than 3250 by 1.

∴ required perfect square = 3250 − 1 = 3249

i.e. √ 3249  = 57

28
28 25
-4
48425
384

41

The remainder is 41. 
⇒ that the square of 28 is less than 825 by 41. 

∴ required perfect square = 825 − 41 = 784

⇒ √ 784  = 28

63
640 00
-36
123400
369

31

The remainder is 31.

⇒ the required perfect square = 4000 − 31 = 3969

⇒ √ 3969  = 63


Q5: Find the least number which must be added to each of the following numbers so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

(i) 525 (ii) 1750 (iii) 252 (iv) 1825 (v) 6412


Answer:

(i)The square root of 525 is calculated as follows:



22
25 25
-4
42125
84

41

The remainder is 41.
And the next number is 23 ⇒ 232 = 529

∴ number to be added to 525 = 232 − 525 = 529 − 525 = 4

∴ The required perfect square is 529  i.e. √ 529  = 23

(ii) The square root of 1750 is calculated as follows:



41
417 50
-16
81150
81

69

The remainder is 69 and the next number is 42 
⇒ 422 = 1764

∴ number to be added to 1750 = 422 − 1750 = 1764 − 1750 = 14

∴ The required perfect square is 1764 and √ 1764  = 42


(iii) The square root of 252 is calculated as:



15
12 52
-1
25152
125

27

The remainder is 27 and the next number is 16  i.e. 162 = 256

∴ the number to be added to 252 = 162 − 252 = 256 − 252 = 4

The required perfect square is = 256 i.e. √ 256  = 16

(iv) The square root of 1825 is calculated as follows:



42
418 25
-16
82225
164

61

The remainder = 61. 
The next number = 43 i.e. 432 = 1849

∴ the number to be added = 1825 = 432 − 1825 = 1849 − 1825 = 24

The required perfect square = 1849 i.e. √ 1849  = 43

(v) The square root of 6412 is calculated as:



80
864 12
-64
160012
0

12

The remainder is 12 and the next number is 81 ⇒ 812 = 6561

∴ the number to be added to 6412 = 812 − 6412 = 6561 − 6412 = 149


The required perfect square = 6561 i.e. √ 6561  = 81

Q6: Find the length of the side of a square whose area is 441 m2.

Answer:

Let the length of the side of the square = x m.

Area of square = (x)2 = 441 m2

x = √ 441 

The square root of 441 is:



21
2 4  41
-4
41041
41

0

∴ x = 21m

Thus the length of the side of the square is 21 m.

Q7: In a right triangle ABC, ∠B = 90°.

(a) If AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, find AC

(b) If AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm, find AB


Answer:

(a) Since ∆ABC is right-angled at B, ∴ applying Pythagoras theorem:

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

AC2 = (6 cm)2 + (8 cm)2

AC2 = (36 + 64) cm2 =100 cm2

AC = (√ 100 )cm = (√ 10 x 10 )cm

AC = 10 cm

(b) ∴ ABC is right-angled at B. By applying Pythagoras theorem:

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

(13 cm)2 = (AB)2 + (5 cm)2

AB2 = (13 cm)2 − (5 cm)2 = (169 − 25) cm2 = 144 cm2

AB = (√ 144 )cm = (√ 12 x 12 )cm

AB = 12 cm

Q8: A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this.

Answer:

It is given that the gardener has 1000 plants. The number of rows and the number of columns is the same.

Let the number of rows = number of cols = x

x2 = perfect square number  
The number should be added to 1000 to make it a perfect square.

Let x = 
The Let x = √1000 i.e.


31
310 00
-9
61100
61

39

The remainder is 39 i.e. the square of 31 is less than 1000.

The next number after 31 is 32 ⇒ 322 = 1024

the number to be added to 1000 to make it a perfect square

= 322 − 1000 = 1024 − 1000 = 24

Thus, the required number of plants is 24.

Q9: These are 500 children in a school. For a P.T. drill they have to stand in such a manner that the number of rows is equal to number of columns. How many children would be left out in this arrangement?

Answer:

Given total children in a school = 500 
For P.T. drill, the number of rows = number of columns = x.

The number of children who will be left out in PT drill = 500 - x2 

The square root of 500 is as follows:



22
25 00
-4
42100
84

16

The remainder is 16. i.e. the square of 22 is less than 500 by 16. 

To make a perfect square = 500 − 16 = 484

∴ the number of children who will be left out is 16.
