Algebra and number system are closely connected topics. In algebra, we deal with binomial equations having two degree, which mean highest power is two for he unknown variable. To solve this equation, we need to know how to calculate the squares and square root of the number. Likewise, square root (except from perfect squares) are part of irrational numbers, which mean number which cannot be represented like p/q format (as we saw in the rational number chapter). Study of rational numbers and irrational numbers are important, because both of them are part of real numbers, and they can be marked on number line.
Grade 8 squares and square roots chapter teaches us how to calculate square of number, and how to find square root of a number . It show different methods like factorization and long division to calculate square roots of any given number. This chapter has been best covered in Class 8 Maths NCERT book, which give detailed examples and exercises to learn to calculate square root and squares.
NCERT books are recommended course text books for students following Indian curriculum. They have been followed by CBSE and all other major school boards in India and abroad. Almost all of the public and private schools recommend this books to their students.
In this article, we have discussed about the Class 8 maths NCERT exercises for squares and square root chapter. We have provided detailed video solutions of NCERT problems for Class 8. Students can look into solved NCERT exercises for class 8 mathematics.
Though squares and square roots chapter looks easy, but many students make mistake in finding square root of a numbers, especially those which are not perfect square. These solved NCERT problems for class 8 will help in clearing the concepts of square and square root chapter, and also make student understand in how to avoid common mistakes in squares and square root chapter.
