Non Perfect Squares, Square Roots, and Estimation
Textbook:
Page 44 – from CD, let’s do 1 2 3
Page 45 – from UA, do 1a
Page 49 – do “Not the Only Square Root”
Page 51 – do 8

Rational numbers have a decimal portion that
ends (finite)
3.45
or
repeats endlessly (infinitely)
87.19363636…
Irrational numbers have a decimal portion that never ends
and never repeats.
7.45932687…
The square root of a non-perfect square has a decimal
portion that never ends and never repeats. Therefore, the
square root of a non perfect square is an irrational
number.
6 is a non perfect square. Its square root never ends and
never repeats so its square root is an irrational number.
The exact answer for the square root of non perfect square
6 is √ 6
31 ?
47 ?

Using your calculator, see that the approximate answer for
the √ 6 is 2.4494897…

Use the estimation method to find the approximate square root of the
following:

____
√ 3300
√6500
√ 7700
√ 8200
√9500
Important:
Example: 8100 has an even set of zeros or its factors are 81 x 100 so
__
____
√ 81 x √ 100 =
9 x
10 =
90
Shortcut: Find the square root of the 81 and add one zero.
Challenge:
Does the method work for 810? How about 7900?
Quick: What is the square root of 100000000?
