How to Find Square Root of 521?

Square Root of 521 by Long Division Method

Value of √521 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 05 and 21
Find a number Y (2) such that whose square is <= 5. Now divide 05 by 2 with quotient as 2.
Bring down the next pair 21, to the right of the remainder 1. The new dividend is now 121.
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 2) such that 4Z × Z <= 121. After finding Z, together 4 and Z (2) form a new divisor 42 for the new dividend 121.
Divide 121 by 42 with the quotient as 2, giving the remainder = 121 - 42 × 2 = 121 - 84 = 37.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 22.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 37. The new dividend is now 3700.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 2 + 42 = 44. To the right of 44, find a digit Z (which is 8) such that 44Z × Z <= 3700. Together they form a new divisor (448) for the new dividend (3700).
Divide 3700 by 448 with the quotient as 8, giving the remainder = 3700 - 448 × 8 = 3700 - 3584 = 116.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 521.

Therefore, the square root of 521 by long division method is 22.8 approx.

Square Root of 521 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 521 = 0

Solution:

x² - 521 = 0 i.e. x² = 521
x = ±√521
Since the value of the square root of 521 is 22.825,
⇒ x = +√521 or -√521 = 22.825 or -22.825.
Example 2: If the surface area of a sphere is 2084π in². Find the radius of the sphere.

Solution:

Let 'r' be the radius of the sphere.
⇒ Area of the sphere = 4πr² = 2084π in²
⇒ r = ±√521 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √521
The square root of 521 is 22.825.
⇒ r = 22.825 in
Example 3: If the area of a square is 521 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 = 521 in²
⇒ a = ±√521 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √521 = 22.825 in
