How to Find Square Root of 254?

Square Root of 254 by Long Division Method

Value of √254 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 02 and 54
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 54, to the right of the remainder 1. The new dividend is now 154.
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 5) such that 2Z × Z <= 154. After finding Z, together 2 and Z (5) form a new divisor 25 for the new dividend 154.
Divide 154 by 25 with the quotient as 5, giving the remainder = 154 - 25 × 5 = 154 - 125 = 29.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 15.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 29. The new dividend is now 2900.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 5 + 25 = 30. To the right of 30, find a digit Z (which is 9) such that 30Z × Z <= 2900. Together they form a new divisor (309) for the new dividend (2900).
Divide 2900 by 309 with the quotient as 9, giving the remainder = 2900 - 309 × 9 = 2900 - 2781 = 119.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 254.

Therefore, the square root of 254 by long division method is 15.9 approx.

Square Root of 254 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 254 = 0

Solution:

x² - 254 = 0 i.e. x² = 254
x = ±√254
Since the value of the square root of 254 is 15.937,
⇒ x = +√254 or -√254 = 15.937 or -15.937.
Example 2: If the surface area of a cube is 1524 in². Find the length of the side of the cube.

Solution:

Let 'a' be the length of the side of the cube.
⇒ Area of the cube = 6a² = 1524 in²
⇒ a = ±√254 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √254
We know that the square root of 254 is 15.937.
⇒ a = 15.937 in
Example 3: If the surface area of a sphere is 1016π in². Find the radius of the sphere.

Solution:

Let 'r' be the radius of the sphere.
⇒ Area of the sphere = 4πr² = 1016π in²
⇒ r = ±√254 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √254
The square root of 254 is 15.937.
⇒ r = 15.937 in
