Squares of Decimals

This document discusses how to calculate squares and square roots of decimal numbers. It explains that for squares, you treat the decimal number as a whole number, calculate the square, then add the decimal point with twice as many decimal places. For square roots, you use the same process as for whole numbers and add the decimal point in the appropriate place. It provides examples of calculating squares and square roots of decimal numbers. The process for raising decimals to other powers is also outlined.

Square of Decimals : First we assume that there is no decimal point and then square up the given

decimal umber. But at last we put the dot (as decimal point), counting the digits from the rightmost digit.
The no. of places will be double as that of the given number.
For example :
1. ( ) ( )
2. ( ) ( )
3. ( ) ( )
4. ( ) ( )
5. ( )
6. ( ) ( )
Square root of Decimals : The process of finding the square root is same as that of integers.
Here we put the decimal point as in the division of decimal numbers.

For example :
1. Find the square root of 5.29

43 129

2. Find the square root of 0.0121

3. Find the square root of 536.85374


23.1701

43 136
3 129
461 785
1 461
4627 32437
7 32389
463401 484000
01 463401

The process can be continued if required. But generally we stop our calculation after 2-3 places of
decimal point.
NOTE To find the th power of a decimal number in which the decimal point is placed at places
before the rightmost digit, we simply solve it considering as an integer then we put the decimal point in
the resultant value before the places from the right most digit, where are positive integers.

For example : ( ) [The no. of places of decimal point ]
