Perfect SquareA number that is the
square of a whole numberCan be represented by
arranging objects in a square.

Perfect SquaresOne property of a
perfect square is that it can be represented by a
square array. Each small square in the
array shown has a side length of 1cm.
The large square has a side length of 4 cm.
4cm
4cm 16 cm2
Perfect Squares
The large square has an area of 4cm x 4cm = 16
cm2.
The number 4 is called the square root of 16.
We write: 4 = 16
4cm
4cm 16 cm2
Square Root
A number which, when multiplied by itself, results
in another number.
Ex: 5 is the square root of 25.
5 = 25
Finding Square Roots
We can think “what” times “what” equals the larger
number.
36 = ___ x ___6 6
SO ±6 IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF 36
Is there another answer?
-6 -6
Finding Square Roots
We can think “what” times “what” equals the larger
number.
256 = ___ x ___16 16
SO ±16 IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF 256
Is there another answer?
-16 -16
Estimating Square Roots
- 49 = -7
IF THERE IS A SIGN OUT FRONT OF THE RADICALTHAT IS THE SIGN WE USE!!
Estimating Square Roots
27 = ?
Since 27 is not a perfect square, we will leave it in a radical because that is an EXACT ANSWER.
If you put in your calculator it would give you 5.196, which is a decimal apporximation.

Estimating Square Roots
Not all numbers are perfect squares.
Not every number has an Integer for a square root.
We have to estimate square roots for numbers between
perfect squares.
Estimating Square Roots
To calculate the square root of a non-perfect square
1. Place the values of the adjacent perfect squares on a
number line.
2. Interpolate between the points to estimate to the nearest
tenth.
Find the two square roots of each number.
7 is a square root, since 7 • 7 = 49.
–7 is also a square root, since –7 • –7 = 49.
10 is a square root, since 10 • 10 = 100.
–10 is also a square root, since –10 • –10 = 100.
49 = –7
49 = 7
100 = 10
100 = –10
A. 49
B. 100
C. 225
15 is a square root, since 15 • 15 = 225.225 = 15
225 = –15 –15 is also a square root, since –15 • –15 = 225.
A. 25
5 is a square root, since 5 • 5 = 25.–5 is also a square root, since –5 • –5 = 25.
12 is a square root, since 12 • 12 = 144.
–12 is also a square root, since –12 • –12 = 144.
25 = –525 = 5
144 = 12
144 = –12
Find the two square roots of each number.
B. 144
C. 289
289 = 17
289 = –17
17 is a square root, since 17 • 17 = 289.
–17 is also a square root, since –17 • –17 = 289.

Evaluate a Radical Expression
€
Evaluate b2 − 4ac when a = 3, b = −6, and c = 3.
€
b2 − 4ac = (−6)2 − 4(3)(3) = 36 − 4(9)
= 36 − 36 = 0 = 0
#1
Evaluate a Radical Expression
€
Evaluate b2 − 4ac when a = 5, b = 8, and c = 3.
€
b2 − 4ac = (8)2 − 4(5)(3) = 64 − 4(15)
= 64 −60 = 4 = ±2
#2
Evaluate a Radical Expression
€
Evaluate b2 − 4ac when a = −4, b = −9, and c = −5.
€
b2 − 4ac = (−9)2 − 4(−4)(−5) = 81− 4(20)
= 81−80 = 1 = ±1
#3
Evaluate a Radical Expression
€
Evaluate b2 − 4ac when a = −2, b = 9, and c = 5.
€
b2 − 4ac = (9)2 − 4(−2)(5) = 81− 4(−10)
= 81− (−40) = 121 = ±11
