How to Find Square Root of 168?

Square Root of 168 by Long Division Method

Value of √168 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 01 and 68
Find a number Y (1) such that whose square is <= 1. Now divide 01 by 1 with quotient as 1.
Bring down the next pair 68, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 68.
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 2) such that 2Z × Z <= 68. After finding Z, together 2 and Z (2) form a new divisor 22 for the new dividend 68.
Divide 68 by 22 with the quotient as 2, giving the remainder = 68 - 22 × 2 = 68 - 44 = 24.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 12.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 24. The new dividend is now 2400.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 2 + 22 = 24. To the right of 24, find a digit Z (which is 9) such that 24Z × Z <= 2400. Together they form a new divisor (249) for the new dividend (2400).
Divide 2400 by 249 with the quotient as 9, giving the remainder = 2400 - 249 × 9 = 2400 - 2241 = 159.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 168.

Therefore, the square root of 168 by long division method is 12.9 approx.

Square Root of 168 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 168 = 0

Solution:

x² - 168 = 0 i.e. x² = 168
x = ±√168
Since the value of the square root of 168 is 12.961,
⇒ x = +√168 or -√168 = 12.961 or -12.961.
Example 2: If the area of an equilateral triangle is 168√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 = 168√3 in²
⇒ a = ±√672 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √672 = 2 √168
We know that the square root of 168 is 12.961.
⇒ a = 25.923 in
Example 3: If the area of a square is 168 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 = 168 in²
⇒ a = ±√168 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √168 = 12.961 in
