Find the number of digits in the square root of each of the following numbers (without any calculation)
(i) 64
(ii) 144
(iii) 4489
(iv) 27225
(v) 390625
Solution:
We know that if n is number of digits in a square number then
Number of digits in the square root = (frac { n }{ 2 }) if n is even and (frac { n+1 }{ 2 }) if n is odd.
(i) 64
Here n = 2 (even)
Number of digits in √64 = (frac { 2 }{ 2 }) = 1
(ii) 144
Here n = 3 (odd)
Number of digits in square root = (frac { 3+1 }{ 2 }) = 2
(iii) 4489
Here n = 4 (even)
Number of digits in square root = (frac { 4 }{ 2 }) = 2
(iv) 27225
Here n = 5 (odd)
Number of digits in square root = (frac { 5+1 }{ 2 }) = 3
(iv) 390625
Here n = 6 (even)
Number of digits in square root = (frac { 6 }{ 2 }) = 3

(i) 525
(ii) 1750
(iii) 252
(iv) 1825
(v) 6412
Solution:
(i)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q5
Here remainder is 41
It represents that square of 22 is less than 525.
Next number is 23 an 232 = 529
Hence, the number to be added = 529 – 525 = 4
New number = 529
Thus, √529 = 23

(ii)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q5.1
Here the remainder is 69
It represents that square of 41 is less than in 1750.
The next number is 42 and 422 = 1764
Hence, number to be added to 1750 = 1764 – 1750 = 14
Require perfect square = 1764
√1764 = 42

(iii)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q5.2
Here the remainder is 27.
It represents that a square of 15 is less than 252.
The next number is 16 and 162 = 256
Hence, number to be added to 252 = 256 – 252 = 4
New number = 252 + 4 = 256
Required perfect square = 256
and √256 = 16

(iv)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q5.3
The remainder is 61.
It represents that square of 42 is less than in 1825.
Next number is 43 and 432 = 1849
Hence, number to be added to 1825 = 1849 – 1825 = 24
The required perfect square is 1848 and √1849 =43

(v)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q5.4
Here, the remainder is 12.
It represents that a square of 80 is less than in 6412.
The next number is 81 and 812 = 6561
Hence the number to be added = 6561 – 6412 = 149
The require perfect square is 6561 and √6561 = 81

Ex 6.4 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
Find the length of the side of a square whose area = 441 m2
Solution:
Let the length of the side of the square be x m.
Area of the square = (side)2 = x2 m2
x2 = 441 ⇒ x = √441 = 21
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q6
Thus, x = 21 m.
Hence the length of the side of square = 21 m.

Ex 6.4 Class 8 Maths Question 7.
In a right triangle ABC, ∠B = 90°.
(a) If AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, find AC
(b) If AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm, find AB
Solution:
(a) In right triangle ABC
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q7
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 [By Pythagoras Theorem]
⇒ AC2 = (6)2 + (8)2 = 36 + 64 = 100
⇒ AC = √100 = 10
Thus, AC = 10 cm.
(b) In right triangle ABC
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q7.1
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 [By Pythagoras Theorem]
⇒ (13)2 = AB2 + (5)2
⇒ 169 = AB2 + 25
⇒ 169 – 25 = AB2
⇒ 144 = AB2
AB = √144 = 12 cm
Thus, AB = 12 cm.

Ex 6.4 Class 8 Maths Question 8.
A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remain the same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this.
Solution:
Let the number of rows be x.
And the number of columns also be x.
Total number of plants = x × x = x2
x2 = 1000 ⇒ x = √1000
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q8
Here the remainder is 39
So the square of 31 is less than 1000.
Next number is 32 and 322 = 1024
Hence the number to be added = 1024 – 1000 = 24
Thus the minimum number of plants required by him = 24.
Alternative method:
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q8.1
The minimum number of plants required by him = 24.

Ex 6.4 Class 8 Maths Question 9.
There are 500 children in a school. For a P.T. drill, they have to stand in such a manner that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. How many children would be left out in this arrangement?
Solution:
Let the number of children in a row be x. And also that of in a column be x.
Total number of students = x × x = x2
x2 = 500 ⇒ x = √500
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 Q9
Here the remainder is 16
New Number 500 – 16 = 484
and, √484 = 22
Thus, 16 students will be left out in this arrangement.
