Not every number is a perfect square. If they aren’t,
we call them non-perfect squares. To find the
square root of a number that is not a perfect
square, we use estimation with perfect squares.
Non-Perfect Squares
Yesterday, we tried to make a perfect square out
of 10 squares and couldn’t do it.
But there is an answer to the square root of 10.
We just have to use what we know about the
perfect squares to find it.

4 2
16  4
9 3

Using the above information (which we should
have memorized), what two numbers would
the answer to 10 be between?
Since 10 is between 9 and 16, the answer to 10 is
between the answer to 9 and the answer to 16 .
Non-Perfect Squares
Since 10 is between 9 and 16, and the answers for
those square roots are 3 and 4, the square root of
10 would be between 3 and 4… probably closer
to 3 because 10 is closer to 9 than 16. It would be
plotted on a number line as below.

While the calculator answer is there, the point should be
able to be placed without the calculator… not exactly,
but on the right side of the halfway point.
To find the square root of a number with a TI
calculator:
1) Press the “2nd” button
2) Press the “x2” button
3) Type the number you wish to find the square root
of.
4) Press “Enter” or “=”

If you tried to find the answer to the square root of a
non-perfect square number, the calculator is only
correct until its last digit. The real answer to the
square root of a non-perfect square number is a
decimal that goes on forever (non-terminating)
without repeating (non-repeating). So the last digit
that the calculator shows is rounded… close, but not
perfect or exact.
