(II) 3675
(III) 605
(IV) 2880
(V) 4056
(VI) 3468
(VII) 7776

ANSWER 7: Factorising each number. 
(i) 8820 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7
Chapter 3 - Squares and Square Roots (Ex-3.1) Part - 2, Class 8 Math RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
8820 = (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x (7 x 7) x 5
The factor, 5 is not paired. For a number to be a perfect square, each prime factor has to be paired. Hence, 8820 must be multiplied by 5 for it to be a perfect square.
The new number would be (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x (7 x 7) x (5 x 5).
Furthermore, we have:
(2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x (7 x 7) x (5 x 5) = (2 x 3 x 5 x 7) x (2 x 3 x 5 x 7)
Hence, the number whose square is the new number is:
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
(ii) 3675 = 3 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7
Chapter 3 - Squares and Square Roots (Ex-3.1) Part - 2, Class 8 Math RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
3675 = (5 x 5) x (7 x 7) x 3
The factor, 3 is not paired. For a number to be a perfect square, each prime factor has to be paired. Hence, 3675 must be multiplied by 3 for it to be a perfect square.
The new number would be (5 x 5) x (7 x 7) x (3 x 3).
Furthermore, we have:
(5 x 5) x (7 x 7) x (3 x 3) = (3 x 5 x 7) x (3 x 5 x 7)
Hence, the number whose square is the new number is:
3 x 5 x 7 = 105
(iii) 605 = 5 x 11 x 11
Chapter 3 - Squares and Square Roots (Ex-3.1) Part - 2, Class 8 Math RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

QUESTION 9: FIND THE GREATEST NUMBER OF TWO DIGITS WHICH IS A PERFECT SQUARE.
ANSWER 9: WE KNOW THAT 102 IS EQUAL TO 100 AND 92 IS EQUAL TO 81.
SINCE 10 AND 9 ARE CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS, THERE IS NO PERFECT SQUARE BETWEEN 100 AND 81. SINCE 100 IS THE FIRST PERFECT SQUARE THAT HAS MORE THAN TWO DIGITS, 81 IS THE GREATEST TWO-DIGIT PERFECT SQUARE.

Question 10: Find the least number of three digits which is perfect square.

42 = 16
52 = 25
62 = 36
72 = 49
82 = 64
92 = 81

Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
1152 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x 2
The factor, 2 at the end is not paired. For a number to be a perfect square, each prime factor has to be paired. Hence, 1152 must be divided by 2 for it to be a perfect square.

The resulting number would be (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3).
Furthermore, we have:

(2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) = (2 x 2 x 2 x 3) x (2 x 2 x 2 x 3)
Hence, the number whose square is the resulting number is:
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.

FAQs on Chapter 3 - Squares and Square Roots (Ex-3.1) Part - 2, Class 8 Math RD Sharma Solutions - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What are squares and square roots?
Ans. Squares are the result of multiplying a number by itself. For example, the square of 3 is 3 multiplied by 3, which equals 9. Square roots, on the other hand, are the numbers that, when multiplied by themselves, give the original number. So, the square root of 9 is 3, because 3 multiplied by 3 equals 9.
2. How do I find the square root of a number?
Ans. To find the square root of a number, you can use the long division method or the prime factorization method. In the long division method, you divide the number into groups of two digits from right to left, starting with the largest perfect square less than or equal to the leftmost group. Then, you find the square root of the leftmost group and subtract the square of that number from the leftmost group. This process is repeated until all groups are covered. The number you get after subtracting the squares is the remainder. To find the square root, you bring down the next group of digits and repeat the process. In the prime factorization method, you express the number as a product of its prime factors, and then take the square root of each factor.
3. What is the value of the square root of 0?
Ans. The square root of 0 is 0. This is because 0 multiplied by 0 equals 0. In general, the square root of any number multiplied by itself will give the original number. Since 0 multiplied by 0 is 0, the square root of 0 is 0.
4. Can the square root of a negative number be determined?
Ans. No, the square root of a negative number cannot be determined using real numbers. This is because when we multiply a number by itself, the result is always positive or zero. For example, the square of 3 is 9, and the square of -3 is also 9. However, we can use complex numbers to determine the square root of a negative number. Complex numbers involve the use of imaginary numbers, where the square root of -1 is denoted as "i". So, the square root of -9 can be represented as 3i or -3i.
5. What are some real-life applications of squares and square roots?
Ans. Squares and square roots have various applications in real-life situations. Some examples include: 1. Architecture: Square roots are used in construction and architecture to determine the measurements of structures, ensuring proper dimensions and stability. 2. Electrical Engineering: Square roots are used in electrical engineering to calculate voltage, current, and resistance in circuits. 3. Finance and Investment: Square roots are used in financial calculations, such as calculating compound interest, risk analysis, and stock market forecasting. 4. Physics: Square roots are used in physics to calculate distances, velocities, and accelerations, as well as in formulas related to force, energy, and power. 5. Medical Imaging: Square roots are used in medical imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans, to reconstruct images from the data collected by the machines.
