SHORT TRICK TO CALCULATE THE SQUARE OF ANY TWO DIGITS NUMBER THAT ENDS WITH 5.

SHORT TRICK TO CALCULATE THE SQUARE OF ANY TWO DIGITS NUMBER THAT ENDS WITH 5.

As you probably know, the square of a number is a number multiplied by itself. For example, the square of 9 is 9 x 9 = 81.
This post is made to enable you to easily calculate the square of any two-digit or three-digit (or higher) number. 

That method is especially simple when the number ends in 5, so let’s do that trick now.

To square a two-digit number that ends in 5, you need to remember only two things.

1. The answer begins by multiplying the first digit by the next higher digit.
2. The answer ends in 25.

For example, to square the number 35, we simply multiply the first digit (3) by the next higher digit (4), then attach 25.
Since 3 x 4 = 12, the answer is 1225.
Therefore, 35x35 = 1225. 
Our steps can be illustrated this way:

How about the square of 85? 
Since 8 x 9 = 72, 
we immediately get 85 x 85 = 7225.

Similarly we can calculate the following squares
  1.  15 x 15 = 225
  2.  25 x 25 = 625
  3.  35 x 35 = 1225
  4.  45 x 45 = 2025
  5.  55 x 55 = 3025
  6.  65 x 65 = 4225
  7.  75 x 75 = 5625
  8.  85 x 85 = 7225
  9.  95 x 95 = 9025
Same method could be applicable for two or higher digits numbers

For example: 115 x 115 = ?
Since 11 x 12 = 132
So the answer would be = 13225
Therefore 115 x 115 = 13225.

SHORT TRICK TO MULTIPLY ANY TWO DIGITS NUMBERS.

You should observe to learn the working of this method. Step - 1: Multiply the unit digits (rightmost digits) of both the numbers, Step - 2: Add the cross product of the digits as shown below: Step - 3: Multiply the ten’s digits (leftmost digits) of both the numbers. Note: If the results obtained in step 1 and step 2 have more than one digit, note down the unit place of the result and carry over the ten’s place of the result to the left. Let us understand the process through some examples: Example 1: Solve 13 × 12 Step - 1: Multiply the unit digits (rightmost digits) of both the numbers, Step - 2: Add the cross product of the digits as shown below: Step - 3: Multiply the ten’s digits (leftmost digits) of both the numbers. So,13 × 12 = 156 Now before you get too excited, I have shown you only half of what you need to know. Suppose the problem is Example 2: Solve 28 × 35. Step- 1: Multiply the unit digits (rightmost digits) of both the numbers, Step - 2: Add the cross product of the digi...

PYTHAGORAS OF SAMOS

  Pythagoras of Samos (ca. 580–500 BCE) was a great Greek mathematician. As a young man, he was coached by the aging Thales, and he would continue the Greek quest to turn the mathematics of the Egyptians, Babylonians, and early Indians from a practical computational discipline into a beautiful, abstract philosophy. It was Pythagoras who gave us the ubiquitous Pythagorean theorem, which allows us to determine the length of a right triangle’s hypotenuse. Today GPS and maps use this theorem—as well as our very early understanding of numbers and of geometry—to compute distances between two locations. Pythagoras was born on the Greek island of Samos, a stone’s throw from the Anatolian Plateau of Asia Minor, which at that time was also part of greater Greece. The island is home to the Temple of Hera, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (although, unlike the almost-intact Great Pyramid, this temple has only one marble column still standing). Today the main town on the island is ...
