3 <p>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 fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 217.</p>

4 <h2>What is the Square Root of 217?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse of the square of the<a>number</a>. 217 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 217 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √217, whereas (217)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √217 ≈ 14.73092, 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>

6 <h2>Finding the Square Root of 217</h2>

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

8 <ul><li>Prime factorization method </li>

9 <li>Long division method </li>

10 <li>Approximation method</li>

11 </ul><h2>Square Root of 217 by Prime Factorization Method</h2>

12 <p>The<a>product</a>of prime<a>factors</a>is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 217 is broken down into its prime factors:</p>

13 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Finding the prime factors of 217 217 is a<a>prime number</a>, which means it only has two factors: 1 and 217.</p>

14 <p>Therefore, using prime factorization to simplify √217 is not possible.</p>

32 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

33 <p>Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √217?</p>

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

35 <p>The area of the square is approximately 217 square units.</p>

36 <h3>Explanation</h3>

37 <p>The area of the square = side².</p>

38 <p>The side length is given as √217.</p>

39 <p>Area of the square = side² = √217 × √217 = 217.</p>

40 <p>Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 217 square units.</p>

41 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

42 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

43 <p>A square-shaped building measuring 217 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √217, what will be the square feet of half of the building?</p>

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

45 <p>108.5 square feet</p>

46 <h3>Explanation</h3>

47 <p>We can divide the given area by 2 since the building is square-shaped.</p>

48 <p>Dividing 217 by 2 = 108.5.</p>

49 <p>So half of the building measures 108.5 square feet.</p>

50 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

51 <h3>Problem 3</h3>

52 <p>Calculate √217 × 5.</p>

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

54 <p>Approximately 73.65</p>

55 <h3>Explanation</h3>

56 <p>First, find the square root of 217, which is approximately 14.73.</p>

57 <p>Then multiply 14.73 by 5. So, 14.73 × 5 ≈ 73.65.</p>

58 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

60 <p>What will be the square root of (207 + 10)?</p>

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

62 <p>The square root is approximately 14.73.</p>

63 <h3>Explanation</h3>

64 <p>To find the square root, first calculate the sum of (207 + 10).</p>

65 <p>207 + 10 = 217, then √217 ≈ 14.73.</p>

66 <p>Therefore, the square root of (207 + 10) is approximately 14.73.</p>

67 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

68 <h3>Problem 5</h3>

69 <p>Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √217 units and the width ‘w’ is 40 units.</p>

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

71 <p>The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 109.46 units.</p>

72 <h3>Explanation</h3>

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

74 <p>Perimeter = 2 × (√217 + 40) = 2 × (14.73 + 40) = 2 × 54.73 ≈ 109.46 units.</p>

75 <p>Well explained 👍</p>
