SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS
 Points to Remember:
t       Numbers like 1, 4, 9,
16 , 25, ……………………….are known as square numbers.
t       All square numbers end
with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9 at unit’s place.
t       Positive square root
of a number is denoted by 
1.   What will be the unit digit
of the squares of the following numbers?

         (iv)
(93)2 = (90 + 3)2
              =

              =
(70)2 + 2(70)(1) + (1)2
              =

        (i)
6  (ii) 14  (iii) 16   
(iv) 18
Sol: (i) Let 2m
=6          ∴m=3
              and
m2 + 1 = 32 + 1 = 10
 Thus, the required Pythagorean triplet
is 6, 8, 10.
         (ii)
Let 2m = 14
            ∴m = 7
              Now,
m2 – 1 = 72 – 1 = 48
              and
m2 + 1 = 72 + 1 = 50
Thus, the required Pythagorean triplet is 14,
48, 50.
         (iii)
Let 2m = 16
             m = 8
              Now,
m2 – 1 = 82 – 1
              =
64 – 1 = 63
              and
m2 + 1 = 82 + 1
              =64
+ 1 = 65
 ∴ The required Pythagorean triplet is 16, 63,
65.
         (iv)
Let 2m = 18         m = 9
              Now,
m2 – 1 = 92 – 1
              =81
– 1 = 80
              and
m2 + 1 = 92 + 1
              =
81 + 1 = 82
 ∴ The required Pythagorean triple is 18, 80,
82.

the square root of each of the
 following numbers?
 (i) 9801  (ii) 99856   
(iii) 998001    (iv) 657666025
Sol: The possible
digit at one’s place of the square root of:
         (i)
9801 can be 1 or 9.
              [∵ 1 × 1 = 1 and 9 × 9 = 81]
         (ii)
99856 can be 4 or 6.
              [∵ 4 × 4 = 16 and 6 × 6 = 36]
         (iii)
998001 can be 1 or 9.
         (iv)
657666025 can be 5.
           [∵ 5 × 5 = 25]
2.   Without doing any
calculation, find the numbers which are surely not perfect squares.
 (i) 152   (ii) 257  
(iii) 408    (iv) 441
Sol: We know that the ending digit of perfect
square is 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9.
         ∴ A number ending in 2, 3, 7 or 8 can never be
a perfect square.
  (i) 153, cannot
be a perfect square.
   (ii)
257, cannot be a perfect square.
   (iii)
408, cannot be a perfect square.
   (iv)
441, can he a perfect square.
  Thus, (1)
153, (ii) 257 and (iii) 408 are surely not perfect squares.
3.   Find the square roots of.
100 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.
4.   Find the square roots of the
following numbers by the Prime Factorization 
Method.
(i) 729 (ii) 400 (iii) 1764 (iv) 4096 (v) 7744 (vi) 9604 (vii) 5929(viii) 9216
  (ix) 529 
(x) 8100

should be divided so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the square
number so obtained.

7. The students of Class
VIII of a school donated Rs 2401 in all, for Prime Minister’s
National Relief Fund. Each student donated as many rupees as the number of students
in the class. Find the number of students in the class.
National Relief Fund. Each student donated as many rupees as the number of students
in the class. Find the number of students in the class.
Sol: Let the number of
students = x
         Each
student donated Rs x.
         Total
amount donated by the class = Rs x × x = Rs x2
         Thus,
x2 = 2401
8.  2025 plants are to be
planted in a garden in such a way that each row contains 
as many plants as the
number of rows. Find the number of row and the number
of plants in each row.
Soln: Let the number
of rows = x
         ∴ Number of plants is a row = x
         So,
the number of plants to be planted = x × x = x2
 4, 9 and 10
We know that LCM is
the smallest number divisible by all its factors.
         Since,
LCM of 4, 9 and 10 = 2 × 2 × 9 × 5 = 180
         But
180 is not a perfect square.
         Again,
         ∴ 180 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
it has 5 as unpaired
so multiply by 5 on both sides
180 x 5 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
= 900
         ∴ 900 is a perfect square.
         Thus,
the required number = 900
10. Find the smallest
square number that is divisible by each of the numbers 
8, 15 and 20
Sol: The smallest
number divisible by 8, 15 and 20 is their LCM.
         We
have
                  LCM
= 2 × 2 × 5 × 2 × 3 = 120
         But
120 is not a square number.
         Now,
to make it a perfect square, we have
         120
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
         or
[120] × 2 × 3 × 5 = [2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5] × 2 × 3 × 5
         or
3600 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
         All
factors of 3600 are paired. Therefore, 3600 is a perfect squared.
