### Operation of Multiplication on Square Roots

We use the fact that the product of two radicals is the same as the radical of the product and vice versa.

we have, $\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{a}={{a}^{\frac{1}{2}}}\times {{a}^{\frac{1}{2}}}={{a}^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}}={{a}^{1}}$ $\therefore$

$\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}=3$

Also, $\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{5}=\sqrt{3\times 5}=\sqrt{15}$

A ship sails 42 km due east and then 25 km due north. How far is the ship from its starting position when it completes this voyage?

Solution:

Let the distance of the ship from its starting point be x km.

From the figure given below the distance is OP

Thus $\Delta OPA$ is a right triangle with right angle at A.

Hence, by Pythagoras' Theorem,

$O{{P}^{2}}=O{{A}^{2}}+A{{P}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow$${{x}^{2}}={{42}^{2}}+{{25}^{2}}$$\Rightarrow$${{x}^{2}}=2389$$\Rightarrow$ $x=\sqrt{2389}=48.88\,km$

So, the ship is about 48.88 km far from the starting point.

The length of the diagonal of a rectangular paddock is 61 m and the length of one side is 60 m.

Find:

(a) The width of the paddock.

(b) The length of the fencing needed to enclose the paddock.

Solution:

(a) Let the width of the paddock be X By Pythagoras' Theorem, from the diagram given below.

${{x}^{2}}={{61}^{2}}-{{60}^{2}}$

${{x}^{2}}=3721-3600$

${{x}^{2}}=121$

$x=\sqrt{121}$

$x=11\,m$

So/the width of the paddock is 11 m.

(b) Now, Perimeter $=\text{2(I}+\text{w)}$

$=\text{2(6}0+\text{11)}=\text{2}\times \text{71}=\text{142}$

So, the length of the fence required to enclose the paddock is 142 m.

Use the information given in the diagram to find:

(a) Height of the triangle

(b) The area of the triangle

Solution:

(a) By Pythagoras' Theorem in $\Delta \text{AMC}$,

By symmetry, M is the midpoint of BC;

$\therefore$ $MC\frac{1}{2}BC=\frac{3.2}{2}=1.6\,cm$

${{h}^{2}}+{{1.6}^{2}}={{3.4}^{2}}$

${{h}^{2}}+2.56=11.56$

${{h}^{2}}=11.56-2.56$

${{h}^{2}}=9$ $h=\sqrt{9}=3$

(b) Area of $\Delta ABC=\frac{Base\times Height}{2}$

$=\frac{3.2\times 3}{2}=4.8\,cm$

So, the area of $\Delta \text{ABC is 4}. \text{8 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Use the information given in the diagram to find the value of x.

Solution:

Join BD of the quadrilateral to form the right-angled triangles $\Delta \text{ABD}$ and $\Delta BCD$.

Let BD = y cm.

By Pythagoras' Theorem in $\Delta ABD$

${{y}^{2}}={{15}^{2}}+{{20}^{2}}$

$=225+400$ $=625$

$\Rightarrow$ $y=\sqrt{625}=25$

By Pythagoras' Theorem in $\Delta \,\text{BCD}$

${{x}^{2}}+{{(2x)}^{2}}={{y}^{2}}$

$(\because \,y=25)$ ${{x}^{2}}+4{{x}^{2}}={{25}^{2}}$

$5{{x}^{2}}=625$           $\Rightarrow$               $\frac{5{{x}^{2}}}{5}=\frac{625}{5}$

${{x}^{2}}=125$              $\Rightarrow$               $x=\sqrt{125}$

$x=\sqrt{25\times 5}$      $\Rightarrow$               $x=5\sqrt{5}$

• There are two square roots of 1 namely 1 and i.
• The binary form of the digit 9 is 1001.
• Every positive number has two square roots one is positive and other is negative.
• The square root of negative number is not real.

• The product of a number with itself is called its square.
• The square of an even number is even and the square of an odd number is odd.
• Every natural number n can be written in the form of ${{(n+1)}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}=(n+1)+n$.
• If m, n, p are natural number such that ${{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}={{P}^{2}}$ then (m, n, p) is called a Pythagorean triplet.
• For any natural number m, where, m > 1, the Pythagorean triplet is given by $(2m,{{m}^{2}}-1,{{m}^{2}}+1)$.
• The square root of a number n is the product of numbers obtained as a factor of the given number obtained in pairs.
