Question

FIND THE SMALLEST NUMBER WHICH MUST BE ADDED TO 7250 TO MAKE PERFECT SQUARE

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

(i) 402

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get the remainder 2. Therefore 2 must be subtracted from 402 to get a perfect square.

\therefore402-2=400∴402−2=400

Hence, the square root of 400 is 20.

(ii) 1989

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get the remainder 53. Therefore 53must be subtracted from 1989 to get a perfect square.

\therefore1989-53=1936∴1989−53=1936

Hence, the square root of 1936 is 44.

(iii) 3250

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get the remainder 1. Therefore 1 must be subtracted from 3250 to get a perfect square.

\therefore3250-1=3249∴3250−1=3249

Hence, the square root of 3249 is 57.

(iv) 825

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 41. Therefore 41 must be subtracted from 825 to get a perfect square.

\therefore825-41=784∴825−41=784

Hence, the square root of 784 is 28.
