What is a Square ? āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— (Square) āĻ•āĻŋ ?

The square of a number means multiplying the number by itself. (āϕ⧋āύ⧋ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻžā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— āĻŽāĻžāύ⧇ āϏ⧇āχ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻžāĻŸā§‹āĻ• āύāĻŋāĻœā§‡āχ⧰⧇ āϗ⧁āĻŖ āϕ⧰āĻžāĨ¤)


Formula / āϏ⧂āĻ¤ā§ā§° : √a2 = a 


Examples / āωāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āĻŖ

1. √25 = 5, Because : 5 × 5 = 25 : āĻ•āĻžā§°āĻŖ :  ā§Ģ × ā§Ģ = ⧍ā§Ģ


2. √49 = 9 , Because : 9 × 9 = 49 : āĻ•āĻžā§°āĻŖ : ⧝ × ā§¯ = ā§Žā§§


Easy Trick / āϏāĻšāϜ āĻ•ā§ŒāĻļāϞ



  • Square → Multiply the number by itself (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— → āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻžāĻŸā§‹āĻ• āύāĻŋāĻœā§‡āχ⧰⧇ āϗ⧁āĻŖ āϕ⧰āĻ•)

  • Square Root → Find the original number (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ → āĻŽā§‚āϞ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻžāĻŸā§‹ āĻŦāĻŋāϚāĻžā§°āĻ•)


2) Why is it called a Square ? (āχāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ• Square āĻ•āĻŋāϝāĻŧ āĻ•ā§‹ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ ?)

It is called a square because equal sides form the area of a square shape. (āχāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ• Square āĻ•ā§‹ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ āĻ•āĻžā§°āĻŖ āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ āĻŦāĻžāĻšā§āϝ⧁āĻ•ā§āϤ āφāĻ•āĻžā§°ā§° āĻ•ā§āώ⧇āĻ¤ā§ā§°āĻĢāϞ side × side āϕ⧰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. (āϏ⧇āϝāĻŧ⧇, ā§§ā§Ŧ āĻšā§ˆāϛ⧇ ā§Ē ā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĨ¤)

1² = 1, 2² = 4, 3² = 9, 4² = 16, 5² = 25, 6² = 36, 7² = 49, 8² = 64, 9² = 81, 10² = 100


These are called perfect squares. (āχāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ• Perfect Squares āĻ•ā§‹ā§ąāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧāĨ¤)


4) What is a Square Root ? āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ (Square Root) āĻ•āĻŋ ?

A square root is the opposite of a square. āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ āĻšā§ˆāϛ⧇ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—ā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§€āϤāĨ¤


It tells us: “Which number was multiplied by itself ?” (“āϕ⧋āύ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻžāĻŸā§‹āĻ• āύāĻŋāĻœā§‡āχ⧰⧇ āϗ⧁āĻŖ āϕ⧰āĻž āĻšā§ˆāĻ›āĻŋāϞ ?”)


Examples / āωāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āĻŖ

  • √25 = 5 Because: 5 × 5 = 25

  • √36 = 6 Because: 6 × 6 = 36


5) Understanding with an Example (āωāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āϪ⧇⧰⧇ āĻŦ⧁āϜāĻž)

Square / āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— : 82 = 8 × 8 = 64


Square Root / āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ : √64 = 8


So, square and square root are opposites of each other. (āϏ⧇āϝāĻŧ⧇, āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— āφ⧰⧁ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ āĻĒā§°āĻ¸ā§āĻĒā§°ā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§€āϤāĨ¤)


6) Perfect Squares (āĻĒā§‚ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻž) : Numbers formed by multiplying a whole number by itself are called perfect squares.

8)  Revision : āĻĒ⧁āύ⧰āĻžāϞ⧋āϚāύāĻž

  • Square = Number × itself (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ— = āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻž × āύāĻŋāĻœā§‡āχ)

  • Square Root = Original number (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ = āĻŽā§‚āϞ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻž)

  • Symbol of square = ² (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—ā§° āϚāĻŋāĻšā§āύ = ²)

  • Symbol of square root = √ (āĻŦā§°ā§āĻ—āĻŽā§‚āϞ⧰ āϚāĻŋāĻšā§āύ = √)
