What is the method of finding the digit in tens place of a square ?
Answers
Answer:
Well, I actually learned something in trying to figure out what the 1’s and 10’s method is for finding square roots;
But, here’s how it works.
First, you need to know the squares for 1 through 10, I trust that you know the basic multiplication table already.
Now, the 10’s digit of that is 3 (Leaving of the last 2 digits of the number)
The largest square that is less than 3 is 1, as 2^2 = 4, so the 10’s place has to be a 1.
Now the 1’s digit of that is 4 - this means that the 1’s digit is either a 2 or an 8.
From there, you actually need to do a bit of multiplication;
12 * 12
and
18 * 18
So, do the easier of the two;
12 * 12 = 144
That is obviously not the answer as 144 is less than 324
Therefore, it must be 18 * 18.
Punching 18 * 18 into a calculator reveals that it is equal to …. 324. The answer you were looking for.
There is actually a very nice page written up on it here
