Show that each of the following numbers is a perfect square. In each case, find the number whose square is the given number:
(i) 1225
(ii) 2601
(iii) 5929
(iv) 7056
(v) 8281
A perfect square is a product of two perfectly equal numbers.
(i) Resolving into prime factors:
$1225=25 \times 49=5 \times 5 \times 7 \times 7=5 \times 7 \times 5 \times 7=35 \times 35=(35)^{2}$
Thus, 1225 is the perfect square of 35.
(ii) Resolving into prime factors:
$2601=9 \times 289=3 \times 3 \times 17 \times 17=3 \times 17 \times 3 \times 17=51 \times 51=(51)^{2}$
Thus, 2601 is the perfect square of 51.
(iii) Resolving into prime factors:
$5929=11 \times 539=11 \times 7 \times 77=11 \times 7 \times 11 \times 7=77 \times 77=(77)^{2}$
Thus, 5929 is the perfect square of 77.
(iv) Resolving into prime factors:
$7056=12 \times 588=12 \times 7 \times 84=12 \times 7 \times 12 \times 7=(12 \times 7)^{2}=(84)^{2}$
Thus, 7056 is the perfect square of 84.
(v) Resolving into prime factors:
$8281=49 \times 169=7 \times 7 \times 13 \times 13=7 \times 13 \times 7 \times 13=(7 \times 13)^{2}=(91)^{2}$
Thus, 8281 is the perfect square of 91.
