Compute the squares of these numbers mentally.
(i) 102
(ii) 202
(iii) 1001
(iv) 2002
(v) 205
(vi) 10.3
We know that (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy
(i)
102 = 100 + 2
⇒ (102)2 = (100 + 2)2
= (100)2 + 2 × 100 × 2 + 22
= 10000 + 400 + 4
=10404
(ii)
202 = 200 + 2
⇒ (202)2 = (200 +2)2
= (200)2 + 2 × 200 × 2 + 22
= 40000 + 800 + 4
= 40804
(iii)
1001 = 1000 + 1
⇒ (1001)2 = (1000 + 1)2
= (1000)2 + 2 × 1000 × 1 + 12
= 1000000 + 2000 + 1
= 1002001
(iv)
2002 = 2000 + 2
⇒ (2002)2 = (2000 + 2)2
= (2000)2 + 2 × 2000 × 2 + 22
= 4000000 + 8000 + 4
= 4008004
(v)
205 = 200 + 5
⇒ (205)2 = (200 + 5)2
= (200)2 + 2 × 200 × 5 + 52
= 40000 + 2000 + 25
= 42025
(vi)
10.3 = 10 + 0.3
⇒ (10.3)2 = (10 + 0.3)2
= (10)2 + 2 × 10 × 0.3 + (0.3)2
= 100 + 6 + 0.09
=106.09
