Question

For each of the following numbers, find the smallest whole number by which it should be multiplied so as to get a perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained. (i) 252 (ii) 180 (iii) 1008 (iv) 2028 (v) 1458 (vi) 768 Page no 102.....

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

(i) 252 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7

Here, 2 and 3 are in pairs but 7 needs a pair. Thus, 7 can become pair after multiplying 252 with 7.

So, 252 will become a perfect square when multiplied by 7.

Thus, Answer = 7

square no.=252x7=1764

square root of 1764=42

(ii) 180 = 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 5

Here, 3 and 2 are in pair but 5 needs a pair to make 180 a perfect square.

180 needs to be multiplied by 5 to become a perfect square.

Thus, Answer = 5

square no.=180x5=900

square root of 900=30

(iii) 1008 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7

Here, 2 and 3 are in pair, but 7 needs a pair to make 1008 a perfect square.

Thus, 1008 needs to be multiplied by 7 to become a perfect square

Hence, Answer = 7

square no.=1008x7=7056

square root of 7056=84

(iv)2028 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 13

Here, 2 and 13 are in pair, but 3 needs a pair to make 2028 a perfect square.

Thus, 2028 needs to be multiplied by 3 to become a perfect square.

Hence, Answer = 3

square no.=2028x3=6084

square root of 6084=78

(v)1458 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

Here, 3 are in pair, but 2 needs a pair to make 1458 a perfect square.

So, 1458 needs to be multiplied by 2 to become a perfect square.

Therefore, Answer = 2

square no.=1458x2=2916

square root of 2916=54

(vi)768 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Here, 2 are in pair, but 3 needs a pair to make 768 a perfect square.

So, 768 needs to be multiplied by 3 to become a perfect square.

Hence, Answer = 3

square no.= 768x3=2304

square root of 2304=48
