5. Find the least number which must be added to each of the following numbers to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

(i) 525

(ii) 1750

(iii) 252

(iv)1825

(v)6412

Solution:

(i)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 67

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 68

Here, (22)2 < 525 > (23)2

We can say 525 is ( 129 – 125 ) 4 less than (23)2.

∴ if we add 4 to 525, it will be a perfect square. New number = 525 + 4 = 529

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 69

∴ √529 = 23

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 70(ii)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 71

Here, (41)2 < 1750 > (42)2

We can say 1750 is ( 164 – 150 ) 14 less than (42)2.

∴ If we add 14 to 1750, it will be a perfect square.

New number = 1750 + 14 = 1764

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 72

∴√1764 = 42

(iii)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 73

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 74

Here, (15)2 < 252 > (16)2

We can say 252 is ( 156 – 152 ) 4 less than (16)2.

∴ if we add 4 to 252, it will be a perfect square.

New number = 252 + 4 = 256

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 75

∴ √256 = 16

(iv)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 76

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 77

Here, (42)2 < 1825 > (43)2

We can say 1825 is ( 249 – 225 ) 24 less than (43)2.

∴ if we add 24 to 1825, it will be a perfect square.

New number = 1825 + 24 = 1849

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 78

∴ √1849 = 43

(v)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 79

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 80

Here, (80)2 < 6412 > (81)2

We can say 6412 is ( 161 – 12 ) 149 less than (81)2.

∴ if we add 149 to 6412, it will be a perfect square.

New number = 6412 + 149 = 656

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 81

∴ √6561 = 81

6. Find the length of the side of a square whose area is 441 m2.

Solution:

Let the length of each side of the field = a Then, the area of the field = 441 m2

⇒ a2 = 441 m2

⇒a = √441 m

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 82

∴ The length of each side of the field = a m = 21 m.

7. In a right triangle ABC, ∠B = 90°.

a. If AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, find AC

b. If AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm, find AB

Solution:

a.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 83

Given, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm

Let AC be x cm.

∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 84

Hence, AC = 10 cm.

b.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 85

Given, AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm

Let AB be x cm.

∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ AC2 – BC2 = AB2

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 86

Hence, AB = 12 cm

8. A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows

and the number of columns remains the same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs for this.

Solution:

Let the number of rows and columns be x.

∴ The total number of rows and columns= x× x = x2 As per the question, x2 = 1000

⇒ x = √1000

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 87

Here, (31)2 < 1000 > (32)2

We can say 1000 is ( 124 – 100 ) 24 less than (32)2.

∴ 24 more plants are needed.

9. There are 500 children in a school. For a P.T. drill, they have to stand so that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. How many children would be left out in this arrangement?

Solution:

Let the number of rows and columns be x.

∴ The total number of rows and columns = x × x = x2 As per question, x2 = 500

x = √500

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Image 88

Hence, 16 children would be left out of the arrangement.
