3.1.1 Squares, Square Roots, Cube and Cube Roots
 
(A) Squares
The square of a number is the answer you get when you multiply a number by itself.

Example:
(a) 13= 13 × 13 = 169
(b)   (–10)= (–10) × (–10) = 100
(c) (0.4)2 = 0.4 × 0.4 = 0.16
(d)   (–0.06)= (–0.06) × (–0.06) = 0.0036
(e) ( 3 1 2 ) 2 = ( 7 2 ) 2 = 7 2 × 7 2 = 49 4 ( f ) ( 1 2 7 ) 2 = ( 9 7 ) 2 = ( 9 7 ) × ( 9 7 ) = 81 49


(B) Perfect Squares
1. Perfect squares are the squares of whole numbers.
 
2. Perfect squares are formed by multiplying a whole number by itself.
Example:
4 = 2 × 2   9 = 3 × 3   16 = 4 × 4
 
3. The first twelve perfect squares are:
= 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, 92, 102, 112, 122
= 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144
