3 <p>If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse operation is finding the square root. Square roots are used in various fields such as vehicle design and finance. Here, we will discuss the square root of 868.</p>

4 <h2>What is the Square Root of 868?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse operation<a>of</a>squaring a<a>number</a>. 868 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 868 can be expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √868, whereas in<a>exponential form</a>, it is expressed as (868)^(1/2). √868 ≈ 29.447, which is an<a>irrational number</a>because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are<a>integers</a>and q ≠ 0.</p>

11 </ul><h2>Square Root of 868 by Prime Factorization Method</h2>

12 <p>The<a>product</a>of prime<a>factors</a>is the prime factorization of a number. Let us see how 868 can be broken down into its prime factors:</p>

13 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Finding the prime factors of 868</p>

14 <p>Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 7 x 31: 2^2 x 7 x 31</p>

15 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>We found the prime factors of 868. Since 868 is not a perfect square, the digits cannot be grouped into pairs. Therefore, calculating 868 using prime factorization is not feasible for finding an exact<a>square root</a>.</p>

38 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

39 <p>Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √868?</p>

40 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

41 <p>The area of the square is approximately 868 square units.</p>

42 <h3>Explanation</h3>

43 <p>The area of the square = side^2.</p>

44 <p>The side length is given as √868.</p>

45 <p>Area of the square = side^2 = √868 x √868 = 868.</p>

46 <p>Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 868 square units.</p>

47 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

48 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

49 <p>A square-shaped building measuring 868 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √868, what will be the square feet of half of the building?</p>

50 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

51 <p>434 square feet</p>

52 <h3>Explanation</h3>

53 <p>Since the building is square-shaped, dividing 868 by 2 gives us half the area. 868 / 2 = 434</p>

54 <p>So half of the building measures 434 square feet.</p>

55 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

56 <h3>Problem 3</h3>

60 <h3>Explanation</h3>

61 <p>First, find the square root of 868, which is approximately 29.447.</p>

62 <p>Then multiply 29.447 by 5. 29.447 x 5 ≈ 147.235</p>

63 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

64 <h3>Problem 4</h3>

65 <p>What will be the square root of (900 - 32)?</p>

66 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

67 <p>The square root is approximately 29.</p>

68 <h3>Explanation</h3>

69 <p>Calculate the expression: 900 - 32 = 868, then find the square root of 868. √868 ≈ 29.</p>

70 <p>Therefore, the square root of (900 - 32) is approximately ±29.</p>

71 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

73 <p>Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √868 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.</p>

74 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

75 <p>The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 134.894 units.</p>

76 <h3>Explanation</h3>

77 <p>Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)</p>

78 <p>Perimeter = 2 × (√868 + 38) ≈ 2 × (29.447 + 38) ≈ 2 × 67.447 ≈ 134.894 units.</p>
