If a number is multiplied by the same number, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in the field of vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1032.

What is the Square Root of 1032?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1032 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1032 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1032, whereas (1032)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √1032 ≈ 32.124, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 1032

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method
  • Approximation method

Square Root of 1032 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1032 is broken down into its prime factors.

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1032. Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 43: 2^3 x 3^1 x 43^1

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1032. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 1032 is not a perfect square, therefore the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs.

Therefore, calculating 1032 using prime factorization is impossible.

Square Root of 1032 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. Let us now learn how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step.

Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 1032, we need to group it as 32 and 10.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤ 10. We can say n is ‘3’ because 3 x 3 = 9 is lesser than 10. Now the quotient is 3, and after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.

Step 3: Now let us bring down 32, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 3 + 3 to get 6, which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor is now 6n. We need to find the value of n such that 6n x n ≤ 132. Let us consider n as 2, now 62 x 2 = 124.

Step 5: Subtract 124 from 132; the difference is 8, and the quotient is 32.

Step 6: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 800.

Step 7: Now we need to find n such that 642n x n ≤ 800. Let us consider n as 1, 642 x 1 = 642.

Step 8: Subtracting 642 from 800, we get the result 158.

Step 9: Now the quotient is 32.1.

Step 10: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.

So the square root of √1032 is approximately 32.12.

Square Root of 1032 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding the square roots. It is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 1032 using the approximation method.

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect squares around √1032. The smallest perfect square less than 1032 is 1024 (32^2) and the largest perfect square greater than 1032 is 1089 (33^2). Therefore, √1032 falls somewhere between 32 and 33.

Step 2: Now we need to apply the linear approximation formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula (1032 - 1024) / (1089 - 1024) = 8 / 65 ≈ 0.123 Adding the decimal value to the integer part, we get 32 + 0.123 ≈ 32.12.

Therefore, the square root of 1032 is approximately 32.12.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Square Root of 1032

Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root or skipping long division methods, etc. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √1032?

Okay, lets begin

The area of the square is approximately 1062.78 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √1032.

Area of the square = side^2

= √1032 x √1032

≈ 32.12 x 32.12

≈ 1032.78.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1032.78 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 1032 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √1032, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

Okay, lets begin

516 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 1032 by 2 = we get 516.

So half of the building measures 516 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √1032 x 5.

Okay, lets begin

Approximately 160.62

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 1032, which is approximately 32.12.

The second step is to multiply 32.12 by 5.

So 32.12 x 5 ≈ 160.62.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (1000 + 32)?

Okay, lets begin

The square root is approximately 32.12

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (1000 + 32).

1000 + 32 = 1032, and then √1032 ≈ 32.12.

Therefore, the square root of (1000 + 32) is approximately ±32.12.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1032 units and the width ‘w’ is 40 units.

Okay, lets begin

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 144.24 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Perimeter = 2 × (√1032 + 40)

≈ 2 × (32.12 + 40)

= 2 × 72.12

≈ 144.24 units.
