Question

Show that each of the following numbers is a perfect square. Also, find the numer whose square is the given number in each case: 

2025 

Solution

In  problem, factorise the number into its prime factor. 

 2025 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we obtain:
2025 = (3 x 3) x (3 x 3) x (5 x 5)
No factors are left over. Hence, 2025 is a perfect square. Moreover, by grouping 2025 into equal factors:
2025 = (3 x 3 x 5) x (3 x 3 x 5)
          = (3 x 3 x 5)2
Hence, 2025 is the square of 45, which is equal to 3 x 3 x 5.
