SQUARE AND SQUARE ROOTS

 When you multiply a number by itself, you get the square of a number.

 For instance,
 So, the square of 3 is 9.

 Square root goes the other way round. If the square of 3 is 9, then the square root of 9 is 3.

 Hence, we can say that square and square roots are inverse operations of each other
DEFINITION OF SQUARE AND SQUARE ROOTS
SQUARE NUMBER
SQUARE ROOT OF A NUMBER
 A square is a number obtained by multiplying
the number by itself. If is a number, then its  is the number that, when multiplied by itself, gives
square is represented by raised to the power the original number.
2, i.e.,
 For example, the square root of 25 is 5 because the
integers 5 and −5 when multiplied by themselves,
Example: give the product 25.
Example:

The square root is represented by the symbol “”.

  Perfect square is an integer that can be expressed as
the square of another integer is called a perfect square.
In other words, it is defined as the product of some
integer with itself.

SQUARE ROOTS

 For example, for a square with an area of 36 , the length of its side is 6 units,
Area (

 We can state that the square of 6 is 36. thus, the square root of 36 is 6.
 By using the symbol of square root, √, we write
 Finding the square and finding the square root are inverse operations.

CUBE NUMBER
CUBE ROOT OF A NUMBER
 A cube is a number obtained by multiplying
the number by itself twice. If is a number,  Cube root of number is a value which when
then its cube is represented by raised to the multiplied by itself thrice or three times produces
power 3, i.e., the original value
Example:
Example: the cube root of 27,
,
because when we multiply 3 by itself three times, we
get 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 = 3
EXAMPLE OF CUBE NUMBER

In geometry, the volume of a

cube is the finest example of
a cube number.
