A square yard has area 1764 m2. From a corner of this yard, another square part of area 784 m2 is taken out for public utility. The remaining portion is divided in to 5 equal square parts. What is the perimeter of each of these equal parts?
Area of yard = 1764 m2

Write all numbers from 400 to 425 which end in 2, 3, 7 or 8. Check if any of these is a perfect square.
All the numbers from 400 to 425 which end in 2, 3, 7 or 8 are
402, 403, 407, 408, 412, 413, 417, 418, 422, 423
We know that every square has one of these as its unit place digit 1, 4, 9, 6, 5, 0. So, none of these is a perfect square.
Find the sum of the digits of (111111111)2.
We know that:
112 = 121
1112 = 12321
11112 = 1234321
We see a pattern according to which
(111111111)2 = 12345678987654321
whose digit sum is 81.
Suppose x2 + y2 = z2.
(i) if x = 4 and y = 3, find z;
(ii) if x = 5 and z = 13, find y;
(iii) if y = 15 and z = 17, find x.
(i) Given that x2 + y2 = z2
where x = 4 and y = 3
⇒ z2= 42 + 32
⇒ z2 = 16 + 9
⇒ z2 = 25
⇒ z = ±5
(ii) Given that x2 + y2 = z2
where x = 5 and z = 13
⇒ y2= 132 - 52
⇒ y2 = 169 - 25
⇒ y2 = 144
⇒ y = ±12
(iii) Given that x2 + y2 = z2
where y = 15 and z = 17
⇒x2= 172 - 152
⇒x2 = 289 - 225
⇒x2 = 64
⇒ x = ±8
A sum of Rs. 2304 is equally distributed among several people. Each gets as many rupees as the number of persons. How much does each one get?
Let the number of persons be x.
According to the question,
Money given to each person = Rs x
⇒ No. of persons × money given to each person = Total sum distributed
⇒x × x = 2304
⇒x2 = 2304
∵ 482 = 2304
⇒ x = 48
Each person gets Rs 48.
Define a new operation * on the set of all natural numbers by m*n = m2 + n2.
(i) Is ℕ closed under *?
(ii) Is * commutative on ℕ?
(iii) Is * associative on ℕ?
(iv) Is there an identity element in ℕ with respect to *?
Consider m*n = m2 + n2.
(i)
Yes, ℕ is closed under *.
This is because, for any natural number m, m2 is also a natural number.
Further, on adding two natural numbers, we get a natural number only.
So, if m and n belong to ℕ then m2 + n2 also belongs to ℕ.
(ii) Commutative means x*y = y*x
where x and y belongs to ℕ
⇒m*n = m2 + n2
And n*m = n2 + m2
⇒ m2 + n2 = n2 + m2
⇒m*n = n*m
Hence, * is commutative on ℕ
(iii) Associative means (x*y)*z = x*(y*z)
where x, y and z belongs to ℕ
m*n = m2 + n2
Further,
(m*n)*o = (m2 + n2)*o = (m2 + n2)2 + o2
Similarly, n*o = n2 + o2
Further,
m*(n*o) = m*(n2 + o2) = m2 + (n2+ o2)2
⇒ (m2 + n2)2 + o2 ≠ m2 + (n2 + o2)2
⇒ (m*n)*o ≠ m*(n*o)
Hence, * is not associative.
(iv) An identity element is a special type of element of a set with respect to a binary operation on that set,
which leaves other elements unchanged when combined with them.
For *, let k be the identity element
then m*k = m2 + k2 = k2 + m2 = m2
This is possible only when k = 0 but k needs to be a natural number.
Hence, * does not have an identity element.
(Exploration) Find all perfect squares from 1 to 500, each of which is a sum of two perfect squares.
We know that the integers that satisfy
A2 + B2 = C2
are called Pythagorean triplets.
So, all perfect squares from 1 to 500, each of which is a sum of two perfect squares are –
25 = 9 + 16
⇒ 52 =32+ 42
100 = 36 + 64
⇒102 =62+ 82
169 = 25 + 144
⇒132 =52+ 122
289 = 64 + 225
⇒172 =82+ 152
Suppose the area of a square field is 7396 m2. Find its perimeter.
Given area of a square = 7396 m2
We know that the area of a square with side s = s2
⇒ s2 = 7396
⇒ s = √7396
⇒ s = 86 m
Also, the perimeter of a square = 4 × side
⇒ Perimeter = 4 × 86 m
⇒ Perimeter = 344 m
Can 1010 be written as a difference of two perfect squares? [Hint: How many times 2 occurs as a factor of 1010?]
We are required to find two perfect squares such that 1010 can be written as a difference of two perfect squares.
This means 1010 = A2- B2
∵1010 is even number
∴ Either A and B are even numbers or odd numbers
So, A2 - B2 is divisible by 4 but 1010 is not divisible by 4 because 1010 = 10 × 101 = 2 × 5 × 101
Hence, 1010 cannot be expressed as a difference of two perfect squares.
What are the remainders when a perfect cube is divided by 7?
Let us find the remainder by dividing each cube by 7.
Hence, the possible remainders are 0, 1, and 6.
What is the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11?
To find the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11:
L.C.M. of 7 and 11 = 77
Then, required number is of the form = 77x + 1 where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
342 = 1156
Hence, 1156 is the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11.
Find two smallest perfect squares whose product is a perfect cube.
Hence, 4 and 16 are the two smallest perfect squares whose product is a perfect cube.
Find a proper positive factor of 48 and a proper positive multiple of 48 which add up to a perfect square. Can you prove that there are infinitely many such pairs?
Proper Factor is a factor of a number other 1 and itself.
Proper factors of 48 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24
Proper Multiple is a multiple other than itself.
Proper Multiples of 48 = 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384 ….
A proper positive factor of 48 and a proper positive multiple of 48 which add up to a perfect square are:
4 + 96 = 100 = 102
4 + 192 = 196 = 142
16 + 240 = 256 = 162
16 + 384 = 400 = 202
Hence, there are infinitely many such pairs
