Perfect Square Square root Radical sign
What you really need to know! A perfect square is the square of a whole number. A square root of a number is one of two equal factors of the number.
Every positive number has a positive square root and a negative square root. The square root of a negative number such as –25, is not real because the square of a number is never negative. What you really need to know!
SquareSquare Root
Example 1: Find the square root: Since 8 2 = 64,
Example 1b: Find the square root: Since 11 2 = 121,
Example 1c: Find the square root: Since 2 2 = 4 and (-2) 2 = 4,
Example 2: Use a calculator to fine the square root to the nearest tenth. 4.8
Example 2b: Use a calculator to fine the square root to the nearest tenth. -6.8
Example 3: Estimate the square root to the nearest whole number. The perfect squares are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169,...
22 is between 16 and 25. The perfect squares are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169,...
22 is closer to 25. So 5 is the best estimate for the square root of 22. The perfect squares are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169,...
Example 3b: Estimate the square root to the nearest whole number. The perfect squares are:..., 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361,...
319 is between 289 and 324. The perfect squares are:..., 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361,...
319 is closer to 325. So 18 is the best estimate for the square root of 319. The perfect squares are:..., 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361,...
Example 4: where D is the distance in miles and A is the altitude, or height, in feet. To estimate how far you can see from a point above the horizon, you can use the formula:
Example 4: The observations deck at the Seattle Space Needle is 520 feet above the ground. On a clear day, about how far could a tourist see? Round to the nearest tenth.
