Sum

Solution

Let the number be x.

Then, product = x × x = x2

But product = 51.84   ...[Given]

∴ x2 = 51.84

⇒ x = `sqrt(51.84)`

Now, place the bar over the numbers, then square root is given below.

∴ x = `sqrt(51.84)` = 7.2

  7.2
7 `bar51. bar84`
  49
142 284
  284
  0

Hence, the required number is 7.2
