Question

which of these numbers are squared?
how do you know?
A.10 B.50 C.81 D.20

Answer 1

They all might be squares, but only one is the square of a whole number.

Answer 2

Think of what you would have to multiply to make those numbers.

Answer 3

which one is it

Answer 4

C. 81

Answer 5

could you show me how you found
ot

Answer 6

Repeating: "Think of what you would have to multiply to make those numbers."

Answer 7

ur in mr zimmers class!

Answer 8

okay thanks guys

Answer 9

9 x 9 = 81; when square rooting the same number has to be multiplied to get the answer. For Example: 4 * 4 = 16

Answer 10

tthanx

Answer 11

welcome

Answer 12

these numbers are not square numbers. which 2 consucutive square numbers is each number between?
describe your strategy?
a) 12 b) 40 c) 75 d) 200

Answer 13

help so confused

Answer 14

ask mr zimmer

Answer 15

im not

Answer 16

This is for estimating square roots.

Answer 17

For example, 12 is between 9 and 16. 9=3*#, 16=4*4, so the square-root of 12 is between 3 and 4.

Answer 18

(oops, should be 9=3*3, not 3*#)

Answer 19

sorry i still dont understand

Answer 20

Answer 21

could you explain it

Answer 22

OK, it's asking for perfect squares that are on either side of the given number.
To make up my own example, let's say the number is 50. I know 50 isn't a perfect square because I can't think of any (whole) number multiplied by itself to make 50, but I can start guessing at perfect squares in that vicinity.

Answer 23

i get it

Answer 24

So let's see: 4*4=16, no that's way too low.. 10*10=100, so that's too big, so I know I'm looking for numbers between 4^2 and 10^2.
7*7=49 (that's pretty darn close), and 8*8=64.
That's the best I can do, so I can say that 50 is between 49 and 64, which are consecutive square numbers.

Answer 25

but then my textbook says what was your strategy whats the stragy to this

Answer 26

I outlined my thought-process. Think about that and try a couple other examples yourself and then explain your own thought-process in your own words.

Answer 27

you add 2 numbers togeather if one is close you put it there

Answer 28

you multily 2 numbers by each other and if it close to the number you put on left side of the number and if it is highter right side

Answer 29

Yes, you are looking for two consecutive numbers, like 4 and 5, 7 and 8, 20 and 21, etc. that when you square them (16 and 25, 49 and 64, 400 and 441 for my above examples), those squares will be on either side of the number you're working with.

Answer 30

cliff sedge i gtg in like 10 mins could please give me thestregy you use

Answer 31

I already did. I talked out my thought process and everything.

Answer 32

i think its the squaring strategy
