QUESTION BANK CLASS 8 SQUARE AND SQUARE ROOTS

   QUESTION BANK  CLASS 8 SQUARE AND SQUARE ROOTS


 the area of a square = side × side (where ‘side’ means ‘the length of a side’)

Such numbers like 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... are known as square numbers.

 In general, if a natural number m can be expressed as n² , where n is also a natural number, then m is a square number.

The numbers 1, 4, 9, 16 ... are square numbers. These numbers are also called perfect squares.

All these numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at units place. None of these end with 2, 3, 7 or 8 at unit’s place. 

If a number ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9, then it must be a square number.

if a number has 1 or 9 in the units place, then it’s square ends in 1.

when a square number ends in 6, the number whose square it is, will have either 4 or 6 in unit’s place.

in general we can say that there are 2n non perfect square numbers between the squares of the numbers n and (n + 1).

the sum of first n odd natural numbers is n²

‘If the number is a square number, it has to be the sum of successive odd numbers starting from 1 . 

t if a natural number cannot be expressed as a sum of successive odd natural numbers starting with 1, then it is not a perfect square.

For any natural number m > 1, we have (2m)²  + (m² – 1)² = (m² + 1)² . So, 2m, m² – 1 and m² + 1 forms a Pythagorean triplet.

finding the square root is the inverse operation of squaring. 

t there are two integral square roots of a perfect square number. In this chapter, we shall take up only positive square root of a natural number. Positive square root of a number is denoted by the symbol.

every square number can be expressed as a sum of successive odd natural numbers starting from 1.

each prime factor in the prime factorisation of the square of a number, occurs twice the number of times it occurs in the prime factorisation of the number itself.

t if a perfect square is of n-digits, then its square root will have n/2 digits if n is even or  (n +1)/2  if n is odd.

1. If a natural number m can be expressed as n 2 , where n is also a natural number, then m is a square number. 

2. All square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at units place. 

3. Square numbers can only have even number of zeros at the end. 

4. Square root is the inverse operation of square. 

5. There are two integral square roots of a perfect square number. Positive square root of a number is denoted by the symbol . For example, 32 = 9 gives 9 3
