To square a number means to :
“Multiply it by itself”
means 9 x 9 = 81
Example :

Square Root of a Square Root of a numbernumber
You now know how to find :
We can ‘undo’ this by asking
““which number, times itself, gives 81”which number, times itself, gives 81”
92 = 9 x 9 = 81
From the top line, the answer is 9
This is expressed as : “the SQUARE ROOT of 81 is 9”“the SQUARE ROOT of 81 is 9”
or in symbols we write : 81=9

Length of the smaller sideLength of the smaller side
To find the formula for calculating the length of a
smaller side we have to re-arrange Pythagoras’
using the balancing method we learned in our Brackets and equation topic.

Pythagoras’ Theorem is : a² + b² = c²
What if we want to find out a value for a?
Length of the smaller sideLength of the smaller side
a² + b² = c²-b² -b²
a² = c² - b²
What side of the triangle is “c”

What we do to one side we have to do to
the other
Always ‘take away’ the shorter side from the
longest side
