ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 3 Squares And Square Roots

Chapter 3 of Class 8 Maths “Square and Square Roots” explains different methods of calculating the square roots of numbers. Before learning about square roots, it is necessary for the students to first know about squares. We can find out the square of any number by simply multiplying a number by itself. For eg: A square root of 9 is … 3 because when 3 is multiplied by itself we get 9. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers such as 1, 4, 9, 16, etc. While finding the square roots, positive number has two square roots; a positive (called the principal square root) and a negative.

Students of Class 8 ICSE should practice problems from the Selina textbook to score well in the annual exam. ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions PDF help students to cross check their answers and analyse their mistakes and weak points. But, before solving the questions they should have a strong hold about the topic “Square and Square Roots”.

Total number of students =745
Students left after standing in arrangement =16
No. of students who were to be arranged = 745-16=729
The number of rows = No. of students in each row
No. of rows

\(\begin{array}{l} =\sqrt{729}\end{array} \)
ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 3 Squares and Square Roots Question 9
