6. Consider the following: 327 + 30.008 + 30.064

Explanation:

= 3√27 + 3√0.008 + 3√0.064

= 3√(3 × 3 × 3) + (3√(8/1000)) + 3√(64/1000)

= 3√(33) + (3√(2 × 2 × 2)/(10 × 10 × 10)) + 3√((4 × 4 × 4)/(10 × 10 × 10))

= 3 + (3√(23/103) + 3√(43/103)

= 3 + (2/10) + (4/10)

= 3 + 0.2 + 0.4

= 3.6


7. By using the process of repeated subtraction, determine the square root of 324.

Explanation:

The question makes it clear that 324

Now, beginning with 1, we deduct each subsequent odd number as follows:

324 – 1 = 323

323 – 3 = 320

320 – 5 = 315

315 – 7 = 308

308 – 9 = 299

299 – 11 = 288

288 – 13 = 275

275 – 15 = 260

260 – 17 = 243

243 – 19 = 224

224 – 21 = 203

203 – 23 = 180

180 – 25 = 155

155 – 27 = 128

128 – 29 = 99

99 – 31 = 68

68 – 33 = 35

35 – 35 = 0

Here, 324 is reduced to 0 by taking away 18 odd numbers.

Consequently, 18 is the square root of 324.


8. A square plot has a 37m2 area           

 Calculate the width of the plot's one side.

Explanation:

The question makes it clear that,

Area of a square plot: 38m2 = 40401/400 from NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 3

As we already know, side2 = area of square plot.

(40401/400) = side2

Square roots are calculated on both sides.

Side = √(40401/400)

= √((201 × 201)/(20 × 20))

= √(2012/202)

= 201/20


9. Find the smallest square number that each of the numbers 8, 9, and 10 can divide by.

Explanation:

First, we must determine the LCM for 8, 9, and 10.


LCM of 8, 9, and 10 is therefore 2 2 2 3 3 5.

= 360

Now, when the components are combined, (2 2) × 2 × (3 × 3) × 5

Specifically, 2 and 5 are unable to form a pair.

As a result, 360 must be multiplied by 2 5 = 10 to make it perfectly square.

Then,

= 360 × 10 = 3600

3600 is the least square number that can be divided perfectly into 8, 9, and 10.

i.e. (2a)2 + (3a)2 + (5a)2 = 608

4a2 + 9a2 + 25a2 = 608

38a2 = 608

a2 = 608/38

a2 = 16

a = √16

a = √(4 × 4)

a = √(42)

a = 4

∴These are the figures: 2a = 2 4 = 8.

3a = 3 × 4 = 12

5a = 5× 4 = 20
