4 Area of a Square The area of a figure is the number of square units needed to cover the figure. The area of the square below is 16 square units because 16 square units are needed to COVER the figure...

5 Click to see if the answer found with the Area formula is correct!
Area of a Square The area (A) of a square can be found by squaring its side length, as shown below: A = s2 Click to see if the answer found with the Area formula is correct! A = 42 = 4 4 = 16 sq.units The area (A) of a square is labeled as square units, or units2, because you cover the figure with squares... 4 units

6 What is the area of a square with sides of 5 inches?
1 What is the area of a square with sides of 5 inches? A 16 in2 B 20 in2 C 25 in2 D 30 in2 Answer: C

7 What is the area of a square with sides of 6 inches?
2 What is the area of a square with sides of 6 inches? A 16 in2 B 20 in2 C 24 in2 Answer: D D 36 in2

8 If a square has an area of 9 ft2, what is the length of a side?
3 If a square has an area of 9 ft2, what is the length of a side? A 2 ft B 2.25 ft C 3 ft Answer: C D 4.5 ft

9 What is the area of a square with a side length of 16 in?
4 What is the area of a square with a side length of 16 in? Answer: 256 sq in

10 What is the side length of a square with an area of 196 square feet?
5 What is the side length of a square with an area of 196 square feet? Answer: 14 ft

11 When you square a number you multiply it by itself.
52 = = 25 so the square of 5 is 25. You can indicate squaring a number with an exponent of 2, by asking for the square of a number, or by asking for a number squared. What is the square of seven? What is nine squared? 49 81

12 Make a list of the numbers 1-15 and then square each of them.
Your paper should be set up as follows: Number Square 3 (and so on)

13 Number Square The numbers in the right column are squares of the numbers in the left column. If you want to "undo" squaring a number, you must take the square root of the number. So, the numbers in the left column are the square roots of the numbers in the right column.

14 Square Root Square 1 1 2 4 3 9 4 16 5 25 6 36 7 49 8 64 9 81 The square root of a number is found by undoing the squaring. The symbol for square root is called a radical sign and it looks like this: Using our list, to find the square root of a number, you find the number in the right hand column and look to the left. So, the = 9 What is 169?

15 Square Perfect Root Square 1 1 2 4 3 9 4 16 5 25 6 36 7 49 8 64 9 81 When the square root of a number is a whole number, the number is called a perfect square. Since all of the numbers in the right hand column have whole numbers for their square roots, this is a list of the first 15 perfect squares.

67 Approximating Square Roots
Return to Table of Contents

68 All of the examples so far have been from perfect squares.
What does it mean to be a perfect square? The square of an integer is a perfect square. A perfect square has a whole number square root.

69 You know how to find the square root of a perfect square.
What happens if the number is not a perfect square? Does it have a square root? What would the square root look like?

70 Square Perfect Root Square 1 1 2 4 3 9 4 16 5 25 6 36 7 49 8 64 9 81 Think about the square root of 50. Where would it be on this chart? What can you say about the square root of 50? 50 is between the perfect squares 49 and 64 but closer to 49. So the square root of 50 is between 7 and 8 but closer to 7.

71 Square Perfect Root Square 1 1 2 4 3 9 4 16 5 25 6 36 7 49 8 64 9 81 When estimating square roots of numbers, you need to determine: Between which two perfect squares it lies (and therefore which 2 square roots). Which perfect square it is closer to (and therefore which square root). Example: 110 Lies between 100 & 121, closer to 100. So is between 10 & 11, closer to 10.

72 Estimate the following: 30
Square Perfect Root Square Estimate the following: 30 200 215 Teacher Instructions: √30 - Lies between 25 & 36, closer to 25 but since almost right in the middle,  5.5 √ Lies between 196 & 225, closer to 196 so  14 √ Lies between 196 & 225, closer to 225 so  15

73 Approximating a Square Root
Approximate to the nearest integer < < Identify perfect squares closest to 38 Take square root 6 < < 7 Answer: Because 38 is closer to 36 than to 49, is closer to 6 than to 7. So, to the nearest integer, = 6

74 Approximate to the nearest integer
Identify perfect squares closest to 70 Take square root Identify nearest integer < Approximate to the nearest integer

75 Another way to think about it is to use a number line.
Since 8 is closer to 9 than to 4, √8 is closer to 3 than to 2, so √8 ≈ 2.8 √8

100 Radical Expressions Containing Variables
Return to Table of Contents

101 Square Roots of Variables
To take the square root of a variable rewrite its exponent as the square of a power. (x12)2 = x12 = (a8)2 = = a8

102 Square Roots of Variables
If the square root of a variable raised to an even power has a variable raised to an odd power for an answer, the answer must have absolute value signs. This ensures that the answer will be positive. By Definition...

103 Examples

104 Try These. = |x|5 = |x|13

111 Simplifying Non-Perfect Square Radicands
Return to Table of Contents

112 What happens when the radicand is not a perfect square?
Rewrite the radicand as a product of its largest perfect square factor. Simplify the square root of the perfect square. When simplified form still contains a radical, it is said to be irrational.

113 Try These.

114 Identifying the largest perfect square factor when simplifying radicals will result in the least amount of work. Ex: Not simplified! Keep going! Finding the largest perfect square factor results in less work: Note that the answers are the same for both solution processes

131 Simplifying Roots of Variables
Return to Table of Contents

132 Simplifying Roots of Variables
Remember, when working with square roots, an absolute value sign is needed if: the power of the given variable is even and the answer contains a variable raised to an odd power outside the radical Examples of when absolute values are needed:

133 Simplifying Roots of Variables
Divide the exponent by 2. The number of times that 2 goes into the exponent becomes the power on the outside of the radical and the remainder is the power of the radicand. Note: Absolute value signs are not needed because the radicand had an odd power to start.

134 Example

135 Simplify Only the y has an odd power on the outside of the radical.
The x had an odd power under the radical so no absolute value signs needed. The m's starting power was odd, so it does not require absolute value signs.

167 Solving Equations with Perfect Square and Cube Roots
Return to Table of Contents

168 The product of two equal factors is the "square" of the number.
The product of three equal factors is the "cube" of the number.

169 When we solve equations, the solution sometimes requires finding a square or cube root of both sides of the equation. When your equation simplifies to: x2 = # you must find the square root of both sides in order to find the value of x. x3 = # you must find the cube root of both sides in order to find the value of x.

170 Example: Solve. Divide each side by the coefficient. Then take the square root of each side.

171 Example: Solve. Multiply each side by nine, then take the cube root of each side.
