Question:
Find the decimal fraction, which when multiplied by itself, gives 84.64.
Solution:
Let the decimal fraction be $\boldsymbol{x}$.
When a decimal fraction is multiplied by itself, then product $=x \times x=x^{2}$
But product $=84.64$ [given]
$\therefore \quad x^{2}=84.64$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=\sqrt{84.64}$
Now, piace the bar over the numbers, then square root is given below.
$\therefore \quad x=\sqrt{84.64}=9.2 .$
Hence, the required decimal is $9.2$.
