3 <p>The product of multiplying an integer by itself is the square of a number. Square is used in programming, calculating areas, and so on. In the topic, we will discuss the square of -16.</p>

4 <h2>What is the Square of -16</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>of a<a>number</a>is the<a>product</a>of the number itself. The square of -16 is (-16) × (-16). The square of a number always ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. We write it in<a>math</a>as (-16)², where -16 is the<a>base</a>and 2 is the<a>exponent</a>. The square of a positive and a<a>negative number</a>is always positive. For example, 5² = 25; (-5)² = 25.</p>

6 <p><strong>The square of -16</strong>is (-16) × (-16) = 256.</p>

7 <p><strong>Square of -16 in exponential form:</strong>(-16)²</p>

8 <p><strong>Square of -16 in arithmetic form:</strong>(-16) × (-16)</p>

40 <p>Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 256 cm².</p>

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

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

43 <p>The area of a square = a²</p>

42 <p>The area of a square = a²</p>

44 <p>So, the area of a square = 256 cm²</p>

43 <p>So, the area of a square = 256 cm²</p>

45 <p>So, the length = √256 = 16.</p>

44 <p>So, the length = √256 = 16.</p>

46 <p>The length of each side = 16 cm</p>

45 <p>The length of each side = 16 cm</p>

51 <p>Anna is planning to tile her square kitchen floor of length 16 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full floor?</p>

50 <p>Anna is planning to tile her square kitchen floor of length 16 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full floor?</p>

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

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

53 <p>The length of the floor = 16 feet</p>

52 <p>The length of the floor = 16 feet</p>

54 <p>The cost to tile 1 square foot of floor = 5 dollars.</p>

53 <p>The cost to tile 1 square foot of floor = 5 dollars.</p>

55 <p>To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the floor,</p>

54 <p>To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the floor,</p>

56 <p>Area of the floor = area of the square = a²</p>

55 <p>Area of the floor = area of the square = a²</p>

57 <p>Here a = 16</p>

56 <p>Here a = 16</p>

58 <p>Therefore, the area of the floor = 16² = 16 × 16 = 256.</p>

57 <p>Therefore, the area of the floor = 16² = 16 × 16 = 256.</p>

59 <p>The cost to tile the floor = 256 × 5 = 1280.</p>

58 <p>The cost to tile the floor = 256 × 5 = 1280.</p>

60 <p>The total cost = 1280 dollars</p>

59 <p>The total cost = 1280 dollars</p>

61 <h3>Explanation</h3>

60 <h3>Explanation</h3>

62 <p>To find the cost to tile the floor, we multiply the area of the floor by the cost to tile per foot. So, the total cost is 1280 dollars.</p>

68 <h3>Explanation</h3>

67 <h3>Explanation</h3>

69 <p>The area of a circle = πr²</p>

68 <p>The area of a circle = πr²</p>

70 <p>Here, r = 16</p>

69 <p>Here, r = 16</p>

71 <p>Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 16² = 3.14 × 16 × 16 = 804.25 m².</p>

70 <p>Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 16² = 3.14 × 16 × 16 = 804.25 m².</p>

79 <p>Here, the area is 256 cm²</p>

78 <p>Here, the area is 256 cm²</p>

80 <p>The length of the side is √256 = 16</p>

79 <p>The length of the side is √256 = 16</p>

81 <p>Perimeter of the square = 4a</p>

80 <p>Perimeter of the square = 4a</p>

82 <p>Here, a = 16</p>

81 <p>Here, a = 16</p>

83 <p>Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 16 = 64 cm.</p>
