Find the squares of the following numbers:
(i) 127
(ii) 503
(iii) 451
(iv) 862
(v) 265
We will use visual method as it is the most efficient method to solve this problem.
(i) We have:
127 = 120 + 7
Hence, let us draw a square having side 127 units. Let us split it into 120 units and 7 units.
Hence, the square of 127 is 16129.
(ii) We have:
503 = 500 + 3
Hence, let us draw a square having side 503 units. Let us split it into 500 units and 3 units.
Hence, the square of 503 is 253009.
(iii) We have:
451 = 450 + 1
Hence, let us draw a square having side 451 units. Let us split it into 450 units and 1 units.
Hence, the square of 451 is 203401.
(iv) We have:
862 = 860 + 2
Hence, let us draw a square having side 862 units. Let us split it into 860 units and 2 units.
Hence, the square of 862 is 743044.
(v) We have:
265 = 260 + 5
Hence, let us draw a square having side 265 units. Let us split it into 260 units and 5 units.
Hence, the square of 265 is 70225.
