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!!! ☺

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...

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...

Permutation and Combination

Permutation and Combination Hey guys, I am back with one more interesting mathematics topic. And I am pretty sure that you guys would find it interesting too because many of you must have faced problems regarding these arrangements. Although if you were not able to solve them at that moment of time I am sure after completing this article you would solve the problem in minutes or even seconds. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?? Many people get confused between these two terms permutation and combination. They both have almost similar use but have a vast difference in their meaning. You may think that both of them mean arranging entities, then what is the difference ?? For making it easy we will take an example, lets say I have four friends : Arya, Bhavesh, Chirayu and Dhruv. So if I arrange them like Arya, Bhavesh, Chirayu and Dhruv or Dhruv, Chirayu, Bhavesh and Arya, it will make no difference in combinations but if you check them according to permutation they will be different. As ...

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment Hey, Guys, most of you might have heard about the alpha ray scattering experiment and if you want to know in detail about Rutherford's model and the experiment he conducted, this is the right place for you... But first: Things You Must Know Some basic information that will help you understand rutherford experiment properly: Proton is a sub-atomic particle which is positively charged and has a mass of 1u. Alpha particles are helium atom with a charge of +2 as they have lost 2 electrons. Alpha particles have an atomic mass of 4u. Gold is highly malleable and can be beaten into very thin sheets. Experiment Rutherford conducted his experiment in the following way: Rutherford took a very thin gold foil and bombarded it with high energy alpha particles. He placed a layer of zinc sulphide on the walls where the experiment was taking place because when alpha particles ...

Leviation

LEVITATION You know the classic magician’s trick in which he makes something or somebody levitate? Yeah well, it isn’t magic (obviously!). In fact, there are over 8 different ways in which he can make something levitate. As a side note though, all of the following methods are fairly complicated. In all honesty what he actually probably does is hang the “thing” by a string. You got conned… What is Levitation? Levitation is flying’s younger brother who was ignored when his elder brother became possible. It’s a sad story… Though in all seriousness levitation and flying are different. So please don’t be a jerk and post a comment saying, “Hey you relic! Levitation is already happening. Have you never sat in a plane before?!” Levitation is (according to Google) and I quote “the action of rising or causing something to rise and hover in the air, typically by means of supposed magical powers.” Way to go Google! I thought we already cleared up that fact that magic isn’t rea...

Levitation 3

LEVITATION III Don’t worry no puns this time. And for the final part of this “levitating series”, I bring to you the coolest ideas! They are both scientific and super geeky effects that nobody ever teaches you because they believe that these effects are useless. But fortunately for you our site exists and we believe in bringing out the cool aspects of science so be prepared to be enlightened and rise (Get it?! That was the last one. Promise. For real this time) to attain scientific nirvana with: Meissner Effect This also has to do with magnets. I am sorry. But I promise this will be cool. This method involves a dipolar magnet on top of a superconducting substance. What essentially happens is that when a substance becomes superconducting, that is, it has no electrical resistance whatsoever, all magnetic field through it get expulsed (removed). At the same time, eddy currents (What are eddy currents? Trust me, you do not want to know. They are some weird quantum thi...
