Finding Square Roots Easily (Vedic Math)

Hello, Guys!!! I’m back with another post on Vedic Math that is going to keep you ~~glued~~ rooted to your spot 😆. This time I’m going to teach you how to calculate the square roots of perfect squares faster…

With a little practice, this method can let you calculate the roots in a matter of 5 seconds, whereas if you had used the traditional method, you would still be stuck with your question 😏

Things you need to know:-

Perfect square which has unit digit 1 will have square root with the last digit as 1 or 9

Perfect square which has unit digit 4 will have square root with the last digit as 2 or 8

Perfect square which has unit digit 5 will have square root with the last digit as 5

Perfect square which has unit digit 6 will have square root with the last digit as 4 or 6

Perfect square which has unit digit 9 will have square root with the last digit as 3 or 7

Perfect square which has unit digit 0 will have square root with the last digit as 0

And most importantly… you need to know this handy little trick for the method to work.

If you need to find the square of a number which ends with 5 you just write 25 at the end and multiply the remaining digits with its successor. Here are a couple of examples to help you understand better…

So, now that you know everything to make this trick work… here’s The Thing itself

Huh?! Someone called me???

I'm sorry for that interruption... So without further adieu,

Let us begin!!

For this post let’s try to find √5776

1) Firstly, consider the last 2 digits- 76, and find the last number of the square root referring above… in this case, 4 or 6

2) Next, consider the remaining digits, 57 and find a number whose square is nearest to 57 but not above it, 7 x 7 = 49, therefore 7 in this case.

3) So this number can have square root as either 76 or 74, to know which is the correct answer read further

4) Now we take the number between 76 and 74 i.e. 75 and find its square using the method given above -

75 x 75 = (7x8)25

= 5625

5) If the answer obtained in step 4 is greater than the number we want to find the root of, we take the greater option (6), if it is less than the original number, we take the lesser option (4)

6) As 5625 < 5776, therefore √5776 = 76

Voila! You get your answer

Some words of caution:-

· Only works on perfect squares.

· If the number ends in 5 or 0, then you don’t need to follow steps 3 – 6

Tired of your slow and inaccurate multiplication? Want to multiply faster? Here's something that might help you

All your reviews are highly appreciated, and I hope that you find this trick useful. Share this with your friends (it helps me a lot) and stay tuned for more on highschoolpedia.com . Any doubt would be cleared in the comments section below

See you later

Have a nice day!!! ☺

Animal and Plant Cells

Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life. The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

High School Pedia

It is an initiative by some students to spread the light of knowledge to everyone and everywhere. It was started in the year 2015 and has grown rapidly in the past few months. By the means of this website, we try to provide information on every topic that we can reach up to. You can find different articles on this website. All these articles are written in simple language so that everyone can understand it and learn from it. We at High School Pedia believe in creative learning and this is the reason why we add our own edited graphical representations in every article. Once a very learned man said, “Knowledge increases by not keeping it to yourself but by sharing it with others”. And we follow the same motto “Share to Learn”. The team of High School Pedia tries its best to provide you with the best and original content. Unlike many other websites, High School Pedia is famous for its original and inspiring content.

Important Mathematical Constants!

Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1. π (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159): π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So π is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (πr 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2πr). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calcula...

Blood Groups

Blood Groups Hey guys, you must have heard people saying "yeah I have AB+ blood group" or " I have the rarest blood group O-" and any sort of these dialogues. But do you actually know what the true meaning of the term Blood Group is. What is Blood Group?? Blood Group is nothing but the type of antibodies and antigens present or absent in your RBC ( Red Blood Cells ). Antigens are located on the surface of your RBC and antibodies in the plasma. It is this combination of antigens and antibodies which decide which blood group you belong to. You inherit these combinations from your parents. But this does not mean that you will have exactly same blood group as your parents. Discovery of Blood Groups Earlier the transfusion of blood from one person to the other would lead to deaths due to incorrect transfer.It was not until 1901, when the Austrian, Karl Land Steiner discovered human blood groups that blood transfusion became safer. Mixing blood from two in...

2-D & 3-D GEOMETRY

2-D & 3-D GEOMETRY We all have some amount of geometry. We know that any line can be represented on the Cartesian plane. Any figure can be drawn on it. But can we represent a 3-d object on it. Yes we can. A Cartesian plane has 2 axis. While representing in 3-D we need to add a third axis. This axis does not come in between the axis or in the same plane. It appears to be coming out of the paper as we cannot represent a 3-d object on a 2-d surface. This new z-axis represents a line coming out of the screen. Before understanding 3-d geometry you need to imagine this axis coming out of the screen. REMEMBER : all the three axis are perpendicular .i.e there an angle 0f 90 between them and they meet at the origin If you are unable to imagine you can take a thick book as an example. Any corner becomes it origin and the three edges as the three axis REPRESENTING 3-D GEOMETRY Like in 2-d geometry we represent the value of the different axis as (x,y) we use the sa...

Levitation 2

LEVITATION II To be completely honest I was going to start this with a pun. I did think of one but it doesn’t float… I am sorry I just had to. Anyway, this is the second part to the article on super cool ways of making things levitate. Go check the first part out if you haven’t already. Actually, the first part may have become repulsive with all the magnets and stuff, but I promise this will be more attractive. Get it? No? I’ll stop now. I am just going to jump straight into it. 1. Electrostatic Levitation I know you are probably sick and tired of magnets but they are the best way you know… This method is somewhat similar. You remember that cool science experiment you did with two straws attracting or repulsing each other based on their charge? So basically using the same principle we can make a charged object levitate. But before you try it, let me tell you it won’t be easy. Even impossible according to our Mr. Earnshaw. He even made a law (th...

Set Up Hacking 2

hello, guys !! I am here again to talk about how to start your hacking. In this article, i would be talking about a new OS more advanced than kali Linux. If you have not read my article " Set Up Hacking ", then read it first. I would also be talking about exploits and Wireshark. BLACKARCH This OS is far advanced than kali Linux because it has more tools than kali. but just like I said, the internet don't depend on tools but your skills and logic. black arch has 10X tools then kali. In my previous article, I said that bootable pen drive is the best option to create a second OS .but drawback of using this OS that you need a LAN for it to connect to the internet but I know a way of solving this, virtual box. The virtual box would automatically turn your WIFI to LAN.
