Problems from Product, division and sum of square roots

Calculate the square roots of the following perfect squares:

  1. 1521. Notice that 1521=9169=(33)(1313), therefore we are sure that it is a perfect square.

  2. 2916484. Notice that 2916=3681 and 494=1214.

  3. 64+381

  4. 319249+4755 where 475=1925
See development and solution

Development:

  1. As is indicated, 1521=9169 so we can write the root as 1521=9169.

Now, using the first property of the square root, we have: 1521=9169=9169=313=39

  1. Writing inside the root the information given in the statement, we have 2916484=36811214 and if we use the second property of the square root 36811214=36811214 Now we proceed as in the previous paragraph, using the first property of roots and: 36811214=36811214=69114=5444

  2. With the table of most common perfect squares we have 64+381=8+39=8+27=35

  3. We realise that we cannot calculate the root of 19 because it is not a perfect square, therefore we just solve the other roots and then gather together the terms with a root on the one hand, and those that do not on the other 319249+4755=31927+25195= =31927+25195=31914+5195= =(3+55)1914=41914

Solution:

  1. 39
  2. 5444
  3. 35
  4. 41914
