The square of a number means multiplying the number by itself. (āĻā§āύ⧠āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ āĻŽāĻžāύ⧠āϏā§āĻ āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻā§āĻ āύāĻŋāĻā§āĻā§°ā§ āĻā§āĻŖ āĻā§°āĻžāĨ¤)
Square → Multiply the number by itself (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ → āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻā§āĻ āύāĻŋāĻā§āĻā§°ā§ āĻā§āĻŖ āĻā§°āĻ)
Square Root → Find the original number (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĻŽā§āϞ → āĻŽā§āϞ āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻā§ āĻŦāĻŋāĻāĻžā§°āĻ)
2) Why is it called a Square ? (āĻāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ Square āĻāĻŋāϝāĻŧ āĻā§ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ ?)
It is called a square because equal sides form the area of a square shape. (āĻāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ Square āĻā§ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ āĻāĻžā§°āĻŖ āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ āĻŦāĻžāĻšā§āϝā§āĻā§āϤ āĻāĻāĻžā§°ā§° āĻā§āώā§āϤā§ā§°āĻĢāϞ side × side āĻā§°āĻŋ āĻĒā§ā§ąāĻž āϝāĻžāϝāĻŧāĨ¤)
Example: If one side of a square is 4 cm:
Area = 4 × 4 = 16 cm2
So, 16 is the square of 4. (āϏā§āϝāĻŧā§, ā§§ā§Ŧ āĻšā§āĻā§ ā§Ē ā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĨ¤)
3) Squares of Numbers from 1 to 10 (ā§§ ā§° āĻĒā§°āĻž ā§§ā§Ļ āϞ⧠āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ)
These are called perfect squares. (āĻāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ Perfect Squares āĻā§ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧāĨ¤)
4) What is a Square Root ?āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĻŽā§āϞ (Square Root) āĻāĻŋ ?
A square root is the opposite of a square. āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĻŽā§āϞ āĻšā§āĻā§ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§āϤāĨ¤
It tells us: “Which number was multiplied by itself ?” (“āĻā§āύ āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻā§āĻ āύāĻŋāĻā§āĻā§°ā§ āĻā§āĻŖ āĻā§°āĻž āĻšā§āĻāĻŋāϞ ?”)
Examples / āĻāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āĻŖ
√25 = 5 Because: 5 × 5 = 25
√36 = 6 Because: 6 × 6 = 36
5) Understanding with an Example (āĻāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āĻŖā§ā§°ā§ āĻŦā§āĻāĻž)
Square / āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ : 82 = 8 × 8 = 64
Square Root / āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĻŽā§āϞ : √64 = 8
So, square and square root are opposites of each other. (āϏā§āϝāĻŧā§, āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ āĻā§°ā§ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻāĻŽā§āϞ āĻĒā§°āϏā§āĻĒā§°ā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§āϤāĨ¤)
6) Perfect Squares (āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻž) : Numbers formed by multiplying a whole number by itself are called perfect squares. (āĻāĻāĻž āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻ āύāĻŋāĻā§āĻā§°ā§ āĻā§āĻŖ āĻā§°āĻŋ āĻĒā§ā§ąāĻž āϏāĻāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻŦā§ā§°āĻ Perfect Square āĻā§ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧāĨ¤)
