If a square measures 4
inches on each side, how
would you find its area?
4 inches
4 inches
4 inches
4 inches
We will:
• Understand the meaning of squaring a
number and finding the square root of a
number
• Find squares of numbers
• Raise a whole number to a whole number
power
• Find square roots of perfect squares
• Find approximate square roots of nonperfect squares
Why do we need to be able
to square and find the root
of a number?
• Squares and square roots are used in
the Pythagorean Theorem
• Squares and square roots are used
frequently in Algebra
Remember how to
calculate the area?
4 inches
4 inches
A=l•w
A = 4 in. • 4 in.

A = 16 in.
A square must have the
same length and width.
4 inches
4 inches
A=l•w
A = 4 in. • 4 in.
To square a number means to
multiply it by itself.
5 squared means 5 x 5
Take the number 5
And square it!
There is a shorter way to
write 5 x 5.
Say:
“5 squared” or
“5 to the 2nd power”.
These are the parts.
This is the
base
This is the
exponent
What are exponents?
Remember multiplication is repeated
addition:
4x5=4+4+4+4+4
Exponents are repeated
multiplication:
45 = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4
What do the parts mean?
Tells you how
many...
=5x5x5x5
Tells you what to
multiply...
Evaluate it!
=5x5x5x5
A. 20
B. 625
This is another formula for
finding the area of a square.

s is the side

Evaluate it!

Radicals (also called roots) are
directly related to exponents.
The symbol used to indicate a
root is the radical symbol -
Every radical expression has

The square root of 49 could

be written as 49 …
but is normally written as 49 .
What does square root mean?
The square root of a number is another
number which when multiplied by itself
gives back the original number.
What is a square root?
?
the measure of the
side of the square
16 = 4
What is the square root
of 36?
36 = 6
Example:
49  7
because
7  7  7  49

Also
49   7 because  7  7    7   49

These numbers are called
perfect squares
If a number is a perfect square, then you
can find its exact square root.
A perfect square is simply a number that
can be written as the square of another
number.
What are the first 10 whole numbers
that are perfect squares?

Not all numbers have an exact
square root as in the previous
examples.
What if you are asked to
find the square root of a
non-perfect square?
Find the two closest perfect
squares.
9 =3
The square root of 15
must be between 3 and 4,
closer to 4.
16 = 4
20 would be between
which two whole numbers?
16 = 4
Between
4 and 5

25 = 5
Use the next process to find
a close approximation for
the square root of 10.
Is 10 a perfect square?
Can you make a square out of
these ten tiles?

only ask for approximations
like this:
153 is between which of the following
consecutive whole numbers?
A. 15 and 16
C. 12 and 13
B. 9 and 10
D. 76 and 77
1. A student earned a grade of 80% on a math test that had 20
problems. How many problems on this test did the student
answer correctly?
2. A metal bar weighs 8.15 ounces. 93% of the bar is silver.
How many ounces of silver are in the bar?
