âˆš27225 = 165

Hence, the square root of the number 27225 has 3 digits.

iv.

âˆ´ âˆš390625 = 625

Hence, the square root of the number 390625 has 3 digits.

4. Find the least number which must be subtracted from each of the following numbers so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

i. 402

ii. 1989

iii. 3250

iv. 825

v. 4000

Solution:

i.

âˆ´ âˆš400 = 20

âˆ´ We must subtract 2 from 402 to get a perfect square.

New number = 402 â€“ 2 = 400

âˆ´ âˆš400 = 20

ii.

âˆ´ We must subtract 53 from 1989 to get a perfect square. New number = 1989 â€“ 53 = 1936

âˆ´ âˆš1936 = 44

iii.

âˆ´ We must subtract 1 from 3250 to get a perfect square.

New number = 3250 â€“ 1 = 3249

âˆ´ âˆš3249 = 57

iv.

We must subtracted 41 from 825 to get a perfect square.

New number = 825 â€“ 41 = 784

âˆ´ âˆš784 = 28

âˆ´ We must subtract 31 from 4000 to get a perfect square. New number = 4000 â€“ 31 = 3969

âˆ´ âˆš3969 = 63

5. 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

Solution:

(i)

Here, (22)2 < 525 > (23)2

We can say 525 is ( 129 â€“ 125 ) 4 less than (23)2.

âˆ´ If we add 4 to 525, it will be perfect square. New number = 525 + 4 = 529

âˆ´ âˆš529 = 23

(ii)

Here, (41)2 < 1750 > (42)2

We can say 1750 is ( 164 â€“ 150 ) 14 less than (42)2.

âˆ´ If we add 14 to 1750, it will be perfect square.

New number = 1750 + 14 = 1764

âˆ´âˆš1764 = 42

(iii)

Here, (15)2 < 252 > (16)2

We can say 252 is ( 156 â€“ 152 ) 4 less than (16)2.

âˆ´ If we add 4 to 252, it will be perfect square.

New number = 252 + 4 = 256

âˆ´ âˆš256 = 16

(iv)

Here, (42)2 < 1825 > (43)2

We can say 1825 is ( 249 â€“ 225 ) 24 less than (43)2.

âˆ´ If we add 24 to 1825, it will be perfect square.

New number = 1825 + 24 = 1849

âˆ´ âˆš1849 = 43

(v)

Here, (80)2 < 6412 > (81)2

We can say 6412 is ( 161 â€“ 12 ) 149 less than (81)2.

âˆ´ If we add 149 to 6412, it will be perfect square.

New number = 6412 + 149 = 656

âˆ´ âˆš6561 = 81

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

Solution:

Let the length of each side of the field = a Then, area of the field = 441 m2

â‡’ a2 = 441 m2

â‡’a = âˆš441 m

âˆ´ The length of each side of the field = a m = 21 m.

7. In a right triangle ABC, âˆ B = 90Â°.

a. If AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, find AC

b. If AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm, find AB

Solution:

a.

Given, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm

Let AC be x cm.

âˆ´ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Hence, AC = 10 cm.

b.

Given, AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm

Let AB be x cm.

âˆ´ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

â‡’ AC2 â€“ BC2 = AB2

Hence, AB = 12 cm

8. 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.

Solution:

Let the number of rows and column be, x.

âˆ´ Total number of row and column= xÃ— x = x2 As per question, x2 = 1000

â‡’ x = âˆš1000

Here, (31)2 < 1000 > (32)2

We can say 1000 is ( 124 â€“ 100 ) 24 less than (32)2.

âˆ´ 24 more plants are needed.

9. There 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.

Solution:

Let the number of rows and column be, x.

âˆ´ Total number of row and column= x Ã— x = x2 As per question, x2 = 500

x = âˆš500

Hence, 16 children would be left out in the arrangement
