How to Find Square Root of 999?

Square Root of 999 by Long Division Method

Value of √999 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

  • Forming pairs: 09 and 99
  • Find a number Y (3) such that whose square is <= 9. Now divide 09 by 3 with quotient as 3.
  • Bring down the next pair 99, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 99.
  • Add the last digit of the quotient (3) to the divisor (3) i.e. 3 + 3 = 6. To the right of 6, find a digit Z (which is 1) such that 6Z × Z <= 99. After finding Z, together 6 and Z (1) form a new divisor 61 for the new dividend 99.
  • Divide 99 by 61 with the quotient as 1, giving the remainder = 99 - 61 × 1 = 99 - 61 = 38.
  • Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 31.
  • Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 38. The new dividend is now 3800.
  • Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 1 + 61 = 62. To the right of 62, find a digit Z (which is 6) such that 62Z × Z <= 3800. Together they form a new divisor (626) for the new dividend (3800).
  • Divide 3800 by 626 with the quotient as 6, giving the remainder = 3800 - 626 × 6 = 3800 - 3756 = 44.
  • Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 999.

Therefore, the square root of 999 by long division method is 31.6 approx.

Is Square Root of 999 Irrational?

Square Root of 999 Solved Examples

  1. Example 1: Solve the equation x2 − 999 = 0

    Solution:

    x2 - 999 = 0 i.e. x2 = 999
    x = ±√999
    Since the value of the square root of 999 is 31.607,
    ⇒ x = +√999 or -√999 = 31.607 or -31.607.

  2. Example 2: If the area of a circle is 999π in2. Find the radius of the circle.

    Solution:

    Let 'r' be the radius of the circle.
    ⇒ Area of the circle = πr2 = 999π in2
    ⇒ r = ±√999 in
    Since radius can't be negative,
    ⇒ r = √999
    The square root of 999 is 31.607.
    ⇒ r = 31.607 in

  3. Example 3: If the area of an equilateral triangle is 999√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 = 999√3 in2
    ⇒ a = ±√3996 in
    Since length can't be negative,
    ⇒ a = √3996 = 2 √999
    We know that the square root of 999 is 31.607.
    ⇒ a = 63.214 in
