Sagot :
first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i wrote it for you:) Finding the
square root of a number is the inverse
operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number
is that number times itself.
The perfect
squares are the squares of the whole numbers.
The square root
of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by
itself.
Many mathematical
operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite
of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring,
which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents),
has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the
square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the
squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 …
The square root
of a number, n, written
is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. For example,
because
10 x 10 = 100
Examples
Here are the
square roots of all the perfect squares from 1 to 100.
Finding square
roots of of numbers that aren't perfect squares without a calculator
1. Estimate
- first, get as close as you can by finding two perfect square roots your
number is between.
2. Divide -
divide your number by one of those square roots.
3. Average - take the average of the result of step 2 and the root. 4. Use the result of step 3 to repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a number that is accurate enough for you.
Example: Calculate the square root of 10 () to 2 decimal places. 1. Find the two perfect square numbers it lies between.
Solution:
32 = 9 and 42 = 16, so lies between 3 and 4. 2. Divide 10 by 3. 10/3 = 3.33 (you can round off your answer) 3. Average 3.33 and 3. (3.33 + 3)/2 = 3.1667 Repeat step 2: 10/3.1667 = 3.1579Repeat step 3: Average 3.1579 and 3.1667. (3.1579 + 3.1667)/2 = 3.1623 Try the answer --> Is 3.1623 squared equal to 10? 3.1623 x 3.1623 = 10.0001 If this is accurate enough for you, you can stop! Otherwise, you can repeat steps 2 and 3. Note: There are a number of ways to calculate square roots without a calculator. This is only one of them.
