Course Estimating Square Roots Essential Question How can you estimate the square root of a number? Standard: MFANSQ3a. Find and estimate decimal expansions of an irrational number locating the approximations on a number line (MGSE8.NS.1,2)

Course Estimating Square Roots The square of an integer is a perfect square. The opposite of squaring a number is taking the square root.

Course Estimating Square Roots Example For example asks what number multiplied by itself is equal to 81? Is there another solution to that problem?

Course Estimating Square Roots Simplify each square root

Course Estimating Square Roots Squares and roots Here is a list that will be helpful:

Course Estimating Square Roots Estimating square roots Once we have memorized these squares and their roots, we can estimate square roots that are not perfect squares For example, what about ?

Course Estimating Square Roots Estimating square roots We find the two perfect squares that are before and after the square root of 8... and Look at them on a number line: 2 3

Course Estimating Square Roots Estimating square roots We can see that is between 2 and 3 but is closer to 3. We would say that is approximately

Course Estimating Square Roots TRY THIS: Estimate to the nearest whole number

Course Estimating Square Roots Try to place six color tiles in an array. Since we are trying to find the square root, the array should be in the form of a square.

Course Estimating Square Roots What is the largest square you can make using six tiles?

Course Estimating Square Roots The largest square that we can construct out of six squares is a 2x2 which uses four tiles. Lets use a different color for the remaining tiles.

Course Estimating Square Roots In order to get to the next square we will need to add three more tiles. Use another color since were adding tiles to the six.

Course Estimating Square Roots Additional Example 1A: Estimating Square Roots of Numbers Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer. 55 Think: What are perfect squares close to 55? 7 2 = < = > is between 7 and 8 because 55 is between 49 and 64.

Course Estimating Square Roots 90 – Additional Example 1B: Estimating Square Roots of Numbers Continued Think: What are perfect squares close to 90? –9 2 = < 90 –10 2 = > 90 Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer. is between –9 and –10 because 90 is between 81 and –

Course Estimating Square Roots Check It Out: Example 1A Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer. 80 Think: What are perfect squares close to 80? 8 2 = < = > is between 8 and 9 because 80 is between 64 and 81.

Course Estimating Square Roots 45 – Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Think: What are perfect squares close to 45? –6 2 = < 45 –7 2 = > 45 Check It Out: Example 1B is between –6 and –7 because 45 is between 36 and –

Course Estimating Square Roots First find the length of a side. Then you can use the length of a side to find the perimeter, the length of fringe around the tablecloth. Additional Example 2: Problem Solving Application You want to sew a fringe on a square tablecloth with an area of 500 square inches. Calculate the length of each side of the tablecloth and the length of fringe you will need to the nearest tenth of an inch. Understand the Problem

Course Estimating Square Roots Additional Example 2 Continued Make a Plan The length of a side, in feet, is the number that you multiply by itself to get 500. To be accurate, find this number to the nearest tenth. If you do not know a step-by-step method for finding 500, use guess and check.

Course Estimating Square Roots Because 500 is between 22 2 and 23 2, the square root of 500 is between 22 and 23. Solve Square root is between 22 and 22.5 Too high = Guess Square root is between 22.2 and 22.5 Too low = Guess Square root is between 22.2 and 22.4 Too high = Guess Square root is between 22.3 and 22.4 Too low = Guess The square root is between 22.3 and Additional Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots Consider = Too low The square root must be greater than 22.35, so round up. To the nearest tenth, 500 is about Solve The length of each side of the table is about 22.4 in. The square root is between 22.3 and To round to the nearest tenth, look at the next decimal place. Additional Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots The length of a side of the tablecloth is 22.4 inches, to the nearest tenth of an inch. Now estimate the length around the tablecloth. Solve = 89.6 Perimeter = 4 side You will need about 89.6 inches of fringe. Additional Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots The length 90 inches divided by 4 is 22.5 inches. A 22.5-inch square has an area of square inches, which is close to 500, so the answers are reasonable. Look Back Additional Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots First find the length of a side. Then you can use the length of a side to find the perimeter, the length of the fence. Check It Out: Example 2 You want to build a fence around a square garden that is 250 square feet. Calculate the length of one side of the garden and the total length of the fence, to the nearest tenth. Understand the Problem

Course Estimating Square Roots The length of a side, in feet, is the number that you multiply by itself to get 250. To be accurate, find this number to the nearest tenth. If you do not know a step-by-step method for finding 250, use guess and check. Make a Plan Check It Out: Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots Because 250 is between 15 2 and 16 2, the square root of 250 is between 15 and 16. Solve The square root is between 15.8 and Guess = Too Low Square root is between 15.5 and 16 Guess = Too high Square root is between 15.5 and 15.9 Guess = Too Low Square root is between 15.7 and 15.9 Guess = Too Low Square root is between 15.8 and 15.9 Check It Out: Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots Consider = The square root is lower than 15.85, so round down. To the nearest tenth, 250 is about Solve The length of each side of the garden is about 15.8 ft. To round to the nearest tenth, look at the next decimal place. Check It Out: Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots The length of a side of the garden is 15.8 feet, to the nearest tenth of a foot. Now estimate the length around the garden. Solve = 63.2 Perimeter = 4 side You will need about 63.2 feet of fence. Check It Out: Example 2 Continued

Course Estimating Square Roots The length 63.2 feet divided by 4 is 15.8 feet. A 15.8 foot square has an area of square feet, which is close to 250, so the answers are reasonable. Look Back Check It Out: Example 2 Continued
