Lesson 3.2 Set of Irrational Numbersstudents

The document discusses squares, square roots, and methods for estimating square roots. It defines perfect squares and square roots, and provides examples of calculating square roots of perfect squares and estimating square roots of non-perfect squares. Methods explained include using adjacent perfect squares to estimate between points, and Newton's divide and average method which calculates the average of the lowest and highest possible integer answers.

 One property of a perfect
square is that it can be
represented by a square
4cm array.
 Each small square in the array
4cm 16 cm2 shown has a side length of
1cm.
 The large square has a side
length of 4 cm.
Square Numbers
The large square has an
area of 4cm x 4cm = 16
cm2.
4cm The number 4 is called the
square root of 16.
4cm 16 cm2
Square Root
 A number which, when
multiplied by itself, results in
another number.

 Ex: 5 is the square root of 25.

5 = 25
Finding Square Roots
 We can use the following
strategy to find a square root of
a large number.

4x9 = 4 x 9
= 2 x 3
6
We can factor large
= 6 perfect squares into
smaller perfect
squares to simplify.

27 = ?
Since 27 is not a perfect square, we
have to use another method to
calculate it’s square root.
Estimating
Square Roots
Not all numbers are perfect
squares.
Not every number has an Integer
for a square root.
We have to estimate square roots
for numbers between perfect
squares.
Estimating
Square Roots
 To calculate the square root of a
non-perfect square

1. Place the values of the adjacent


perfect squares on a number line.

2. Insert between the points to


estimate to the nearest tenth.
Determine two integers between which
the given square root lies.
