Squares and Square Roots

1. If a number is multiplied by itself, the product that we get is called the square of the number.
For example:
4 x 4 = 42 = 16                                                                 (16 is square of 4)
20 x 20 = 202 = 400                                                         (400 is square of 20)
35×35=(35)2=925 (925 is square of 35)

2. Square of a number is represented as the number raised to the power 2.

3. A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of two equal integers.
For example: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …, are all perfect square numbers.

4. Properties of square numbers:
(i) No square number ends with the digits 2, 3, 7 or 8 at its unit places.

(ii) The square numbers must end with the digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 but the number ending with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 may or may not be a perfect number.
For example: 36 is a perfect square but 56 is not.
256 is a perfect square but 346 is not.

(iii) Square of even number is always an even and the square of odd number is odd.
For example:
42 = 16(even)
52 = 25(odd)

(iv) A perfect square can never be a negative number.

(v) For every natural number n, (n + 1)2 – n2 – (n + 1) + n
For example: 142 -132 = (13 + 1) + 13 = 14 + 13 = 27
262 – 252 = (25 + 1) + 25 = 26 + 25 = 51

5. Pythagorean Tripletr: A triplet (m, n,p) is called a Pythagorean triplet if m2 + n2 = p2
For example: (3, 4, 5), (8, 15, 17) and (20, 21, 29)
Product of two consecutive even or odd natural numbers:
Example:
11 x 13 = 143 – 122 – 1 (product of odds)
13 x 15 = 195 = 142 – 1 (product of odds)
44 x 46 = 2024 = 452 – 1 (product of evens)

Histogram || Shashaank Blogspot

  Histogram A histogram is what we call an area diagram. It indicates the frequency of a class interval. The class interval or the range of values is known as bins or classes with reference to histograms. A bar indicates the number of data points within a specific class. That means the higher the frequency of a particular class, higher the bar. Let us see an example of a Histogram. From the below-given table of the various heights of trees in a region, we will draw a histogram to illustrate how it is done. Let us look at the frequency table now. Height of Trees (ft) No. of trees 60-65 3 65-70 3 70-75 8 75-80 10 80-85 5 85-90 2 Now here the heights of the tree are continuous data. These class intervals are the bins. And the number of trees are obviously the frequency. And now let us draw a histogram (given below) that represents the above data. Histograms vs Bar Charts In bar graphs, each bar represents one value or category. On the other hand in a histogram...

Quadrilateral || Shashaank Blogspot

  The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio  2 : 3 : 5 : 8 . Find the smallest angle of the quadrilateral?  Given ratio of angles of quadrilateral  A B C D  is  2 : 3 : 5 : 8 Let the angles of quadrilateral  A B C D  be  2 x , 3 x , 5 x , 8 x , respectively. We know, by angle sum property, the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is  3 6 0 o . ⇒ 2 x + 3 x + 5 x + 8 x = 3 6 0 o ⇒ 1 8 x = 3 6 0 o ∴ x = 2 0 o . ∴ ∠ A = 2 x = 2 × 2 0 o = 4 0 o , ∠ B = 3 x = 3 × 2 0 o = 6 0 o , ∠ C = 5 x = 5 × 2 0 o = 1 0 0 o and  ∠ D = 8 x = 8 × 2 0 o = 1 6 0 o . ∴  The smallest angle  = 4 0

Bar Graph Definition || Shashaank Blogspot

 Bar Graph Definition bar graph A bar graph is a way to display data graphically by using rectangle bars. These bars are uniform in width but vary in height or length. Also, the length of each bar represents a value. In addition, the bars can be vertical or horizontal. Another name for vertical bars is columns. We use bar graphs to compare various items or choices. We also use them to show how something has changed over a period of time. They can also be used to show the frequency of certain data. Other names for bar graphs are bar charts or column graphs. Here is a situation where you could use a bar graph. Suppose you want to find out which chocolate, A, B or C your classmates prefer the most. And so, you ask them to write down their preference. Once you have all the data, you make a frequency table. After calculating the frequency of each choice, you plot a bar graph. With just one look at the bar graph, you can tell which is the most preferred chocolate. This is the essence of ...
