Station 1:

Question 17:
54
27 x 2
9 x 3 x 2
3 x 3 x 3 x2

3x3 3x2 doesn't balance, so 54 is not a perfect square.

Question 18:

The mat is a square so all sides are equal.

14 x 14=196
A=196m.

54 is not a perfect square because there is not enough 2's and 3's to put in to each basket.

18. area = s squared
area = 14 squared
area = (14x14)
area = 196m squared

Perfect Square- A square that has a square root with no decimal.

Square Root- The number that when multiplied by itself equals the value

PERFECT SQUARE- a number that is the product of two identical factors.It has an even number of prime factors.

SQUARE ROOT- a number that when multiplied by itself equals a given value.

Question #17:
54 is not a perfect square.

54=54
54= 2x27
54= 2x3x9
54= 2x3x3x3 (prime factors)

Question #18:
side length of mat= 14m

14m squared= 196m squared or

14mx14m= 196m squared

The area of the mat is 196m squared.

a= 14x14
a= 196m²
The area of the floor mat is 196 m².

- Perfect squares are multiplying a number by itself without decimals. e.g. 8x8=64
64 square root is 8

Question 18.
Area= sxs
area= 14cm2
area=14x14
area= 196 cm2

The area of the floormat is 196cm2.

Station 1:

Question 17
54
6 x 9
3x2 x 3x3

54 is not a perfect square because the prime factors aren't even.

Question 18
a = s x s
a = 14 x 14
a = 196m²

The mat is 196m² and is a square because all sides are equal.

Perfect square- the product of the same two numbers. For example, 3x3=9, so 9 would be a perfect square.

Square roots- what number times itself equals the value. Square root is the inverse of squaring. For example, √25 would be 5, so 5 is the square root.

Question #17.
54
18 x 3
9 x 2 x 3
3 x 3 x 2 x3

54 is not a perfect square because 3x3 and 2x3 are not equal.

Melanie 16 said...

A perfect square is the product you get from multiplying the same number by itself once.

A square root is a number that when multiplied by itself equals a given value.

Question 17:
54
27 x 2
9 x 3 x 2
3 x 3 x 3 x2
(3x3) x (3x2) = 54

There aren't an equal amount of numbers to go equally into each "basket" therefore it is not a perfect square.

Question 18:
a= s x s
a= 14 x 14
a= 196m²

The area of the floor mat is 196m².
