## Find the square root of 3 Digit Number

Questions 1) $\sqrt{625}$ = ?

Solution:

Step 1: First we need to ignore last two digits of 625.i.e 25

Step 2: Now from the above table, find square of a number which is less than and nearest to 6. That number is 2. So left part of answer will be 2.

Step 3: Since last digit of ’625‘ is ‘5‘. From the above table the last digit of 5 comes from the square 5 .Therefore right part (R) of our answer will be ’5′.

Questions 2) $\sqrt{784}$ = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Fist we need to ignore last two digit . i .e 84

Step 2: Now from the above table, find square of a number which is less than and nearest to 7.That number is 2 so left part of answer is 2

Step 3: Since the last digit of '784' is 4 .From the above table the last digit of 4 comes from the square of 2 and 8.Now we have to find whether it is 2 or 8For that, multiply left part answer with 1 added in it means multiply 2 with 2 (2+1) = 6 which is less than 7

So that part of answer will be 2 and 8. right part answer will be bigger of 2 or 8 which is 8.

Questions 3) $\sqrt{576}$ = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Fist we need to ignore last two digit . i .e 76

Questions 2) $\sqrt{1681}$ = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Fist we need to ignore last two digit . i .e 81

Step 2: Now from the above table, find square of a number which is less than and nearest to 16 .That number is 4 so left part of answer is 4

Step 3: Since the last digit of '1681' is 1 .From the above table the last digit of 1 comes from the square of 1 and 9.Now we have to find whether it is 1 or 9. For that, multiply left part answer with 1 added in it means multiply 4 with 4 (4+1) = 20 which is greater than 16. It means right part answer will be smaller of 1 or 9 which is 1.

Questions 3) $\sqrt{3249}$ = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Fist we need to ignore last two digit . i .e 49

Step 2: Now from the above table, find square of a number which is less than and nearest to 32 .That number is 5 so left part of answer is 5

Step 3: Since the last digit of '3249' is 9 .From the above table the last digit of 9 comes from the square of 3 and 7.Now we have to find whether it is 3 or 7. For that, multiply left part answer with 1 added in it means multiply 5 with 5 (5+1) = 50 which is less than 32. It means right part answer will be bigger of 3 or 7 which is 7.

$\sqrt{2}$ = 1.414

$\sqrt{3}$ = 1.732

$\sqrt{5}$ = 2.646

$\sqrt{7}$ = 2.449

Example

$\sqrt{50}$ = ?

Solution:

We can write

$\sqrt{50}=\sqrt{5\times 5\times 2}$

= $(\sqrt{5})^{2}\times \sqrt{2}=5\sqrt{2}=5\times 1.414$ = 7.07
