How to Find Square Root of 279?
Value of √279 by Long Division Method
Explanation:
- Forming pairs: 02 and 79
- Find a number Y (1) such that whose square is <= 2. Now divide 02 by 1 with quotient as 1.
- Bring down the next pair 79, to the right of the remainder 1. The new dividend is now 179.
- Add the last digit of the quotient (1) to the divisor (1) i.e. 1 + 1 = 2. To the right of 2, find a digit Z (which is 6) such that 2Z × Z <= 179. After finding Z, together 2 and Z (6) form a new divisor 26 for the new dividend 179.
- Divide 179 by 26 with the quotient as 6, giving the remainder = 179 - 26 × 6 = 179 - 156 = 23.
- Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 16.
- Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 23. The new dividend is now 2300.
- Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 6 + 26 = 32. To the right of 32, find a digit Z (which is 7) such that 32Z × Z <= 2300. Together they form a new divisor (327) for the new dividend (2300).
- Divide 2300 by 327 with the quotient as 7, giving the remainder = 2300 - 327 × 7 = 2300 - 2289 = 11.
- Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 279.
Therefore, the square root of 279 by long division method is 16.7 approximately.

Square Root of 279 Solved Examples
-
Example 1: Solve the equation x2 − 279 = 0
Solution:
x2 - 279 = 0 i.e. x2 = 279
x = ±√279
Since the value of the square root of 279 is 16.703,
⇒ x = +√279 or -√279 = 16.703 or -16.703. -
Example 2: If the surface area of a sphere is 1116π in2. Find the radius of the sphere.
Solution:
Let 'r' be the radius of the sphere.
⇒ Area of the sphere = 4πr2 = 1116π in2
⇒ r = ±√279 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √279
The square root of 279 is 16.703.
⇒ r = 16.703 in -
Example 3: If the area of an equilateral triangle is 279√3 in2. Find the length of one of the sides of the triangle.
Solution:
Let 'a' be the length of one of the sides of the equilateral triangle.
⇒ Area of the equilateral triangle = (√3/4)a2 = 279√3 in2
⇒ a = ±√1116 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √1116 = 2 √279
We know that the square root of 279 is 16.703.
⇒ a = 33.407 in
