5 Review for Mastery: Squares and Square Roots
A perfect square has two identical factors.
25 5 5 52 or 25 ( 5) ( 5) ( 5)2 then 25 is a perfect square.

Tell if the number is a perfect square.

If yes, write its identical factors.
1. 121 2. 200
3. 400

Since 52 25 and also ( 5)2 25, 25 5 and 25 5

both 5 and 5 are square roots of 25.

The principal square root of 25 is 5: 25 5

Write the two square roots of each number.

4. 81 5. 625 6. 169
81 625 169

Write the principal square root of each number.

7. 144 8. 6400 9. 10,000

Use the principal square root when 5 100 3

evaluating an expression. For the 5(10) 3
order of operations, do square root 50 3

6 Review for Mastery: Estimating Square Roots
To locate a square root between two consecutive integers, refer to the table.
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Square 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100
Number 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Square 121 144 169 196 225 256 289 324 361 400

Locate 260 between two integers.

260 is between the perfect squares 256 and 289: 256 260 289
So: 256 260 289
And: 16 260 17

Use the table to complete the statements.

After locating a square root between two consecutive integers, you can
determine which of the two integers the square root is closer to.
27 is between the perfect squares 25 and 36: 25 27 36
So: 25 27 36
And: 5 27 6

The difference between 27 and 25 is 2;
the difference between 36 and 27 is 9. 25 27 36
So, 27, is closer to 5. 2 9

Complete the statements.
