How to Find Square Root of 481?

Square Root of 481 by Long Division Method

Value of √481 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 04 and 81
Find a number Y (2) such that whose square is <= 4. Now divide 04 by 2 with quotient as 2.
Bring down the next pair 81, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 81.
Add the last digit of the quotient (2) to the divisor (2) i.e. 2 + 2 = 4. To the right of 4, find a digit Z (which is 1) such that 4Z × Z <= 81. After finding Z, together 4 and Z (1) form a new divisor 41 for the new dividend 81.
Divide 81 by 41 with the quotient as 1, giving the remainder = 81 - 41 × 1 = 81 - 41 = 40.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 21.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 40. The new dividend is now 4000.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 1 + 41 = 42. To the right of 42, find a digit Z (which is 9) such that 42Z × Z <= 4000. Together they form a new divisor (429) for the new dividend (4000).
Divide 4000 by 429 with the quotient as 9, giving the remainder = 4000 - 429 × 9 = 4000 - 3861 = 139.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 481.

Therefore, the square root of 481 by long division method is 21.9 approximately.

Square Root of 481 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 481 = 0

Solution:

x² - 481 = 0 i.e. x² = 481
x = ±√481
Since the value of the square root of 481 is 21.932,
⇒ x = +√481 or -√481 = 21.932 or -21.932.
Example 2: If the area of a circle is 481π in². Find the radius of the circle.

Solution:

Let 'r' be the radius of the circle.
⇒ Area of the circle = πr² = 481π in²
⇒ r = ±√481 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √481
The square root of 481 is 21.932.
⇒ r = 21.932 in
Example 3: If the area of a square is 481 in². Find the length of the side of the square.

Solution:

Let 'a' be the length of the side of the square.
⇒ Area of the square = a² = 481 in²
⇒ a = ±√481 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √481 = 21.932 in
