Squaring a number is like multiplying a number by itself. The square of 4, written as 42, and read as “four
squared”, is like (4)(4) = 16. The square of -4 is (-4)2 = (-4)(-4) = 16.
Otherwise, 16 is the result of squaring a number, 16 is an example of a perfect square. Below
are the listed perfect squares.

LET’S TALK

Definition

Principal Root is a number which produces a specific quantity when multiplied by itself. It is the positive
nth root of a number.

Definition

A Perfect Square is the square of a rational number.

Definition
𝑎
Rational Number is a number that can be expressed in the form 𝑏 , where a and b are integers, and b is not
equal to 0.

Definition

Irrational Number is a number whose decimal representation is neither terminating nor repeating. This
number cannot be expressed as a quotient of integers.

Perfect Square Factored Form Square Root


1 12 = (1)(1) 1
4 22 = (2)(2) 2
9 32 = (3)(3) 3
16 42 = (4)(4) 4
25 52 = (5)(5) 5
36 62 = (6)(6) 6
49 72 = (7)(7) 7
64 82 = (8)(8) 8
81 92 = (9)(9) 9
100 102 = (10)(10) 10
.
The square root of a number is one of the two equal factors of a perfect square. The square root of 16 is 4,
since (4)(4) = 16. However, since (-4)(-4) = 16, therefore -4 is also a square root of 16. Every nonzero real
number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. The square root of a number n is written in
symbol as √𝑛. The symbol √ is called radical sign, and the numbers n under the radical sign is called
radicand.

Model: √144 = 12 since 122 = (12)(12) = 49


√0.25 = 0.5 since 0.52 = (0.5)(0.5) = 0.25

4
Rational numbers such as 0.16, 100, and 4.84 are also perfect square. The square roots of perfect squares are

rational numbers while the square root of numbers that are not perfect squares are irrational numbers.

Examples: Determine whether the following is rational or irrational.


a. √169

b. √41
Answer
a. Since 169 is a perfect square, √169 is rational. √169 = 13
b. Since 41 is not a perfect square, √41 is irrational.
