The square of a number is the multiple of the number with itself. Learning these squares helps students solve various arithmetic problems and complex calculations easily.
A square number is the product of a number multiplied by itself. It is commonly represented using exponent notation:
a2= a × a

Calculating Squares 1 to 30
The squares 1 to 30 can easily be calculated using the two methods as discussed below:
- Multiplication by Itself
- Using Algebraic Identities
Now, let's learn about these two methods in detail.
Method 1: Multiplication by Itself
Multiplying by itself means to find the square of the number we multiply the number with itself, i.e. the square of any number a is (a)2 then it is calculated as (a)2 = a × a.
Example of Multiplying by itselfSquare of some numbers between 1 to 30 using the multiplication by itself method is,
- (4)2 = 4 × 4 = 16
- (7)2 = 7 × 7 = 49
- (12)2 = 12 × 12 = 144
- (21)2 = 21 × 21 = 441, etc
This method works best for smaller methods, but for finding the square of the larger numbers, we use other methods, i.e., using Algebraic Identities.
Method 2: Using Algebraic Identities
As the name suggests, using algebraic identities uses the basic identities of the square, i.e., it uses
- (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
- (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
Now the given number "n" is broken according to these identities as,
n = (a + b) or n = (a - b) according to the number n, and then the square is found using the identities discussed above. This can be understood by the example discussed below.
For example: To find the square of 28, we can express 28 in two ways,
Solution:
(20 + 8)
To find the square of 28 we use the algebraic identity,
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
(20 + 8)2 = 202 + 82 + 2(20)(8)
= 400 + 64 + 320
= 784
(30 - 2)
To find the square of 28 we use the algebraic identity,
(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
(30 - 2)2 = 302 + 22 - 2(30)(2)
= 900 + 4 - 120
= 784
This method is used to find the square of a large number very easily.
Tricks to Memorize Squares
Here are some helpful tricks to assist you in memorizing square roots:
- Squaring a number simply means multiplying it by itself.
- Start by memorizing the most common squares (from 1 to 9).
- For numbers ending in 5 (such as 5, 15, 25), use the equation: n(n + 1), followed by 25.
For example, for 25:
2 × (2 + 1) = 6, followed by 25, giving you 625. - Apply the algebraic tricks mentioned above to make it easier.
For example: (29)2:
(30 − 1)2 = 302 × 30 × 1 + 12
292 = 900 − 60 + 1 = 841

Solved Examples on Squares of 1 to 30
Example 1: Find the area of the circular park whose radius is 21 m.
Solution:
Given,
Radius of Park = 21 m
Area of Circular Park(A) = πr2
A = π (21)2
Using the square of 21 from the square of 1 to 30 table
212 = 441
A = 22/7(441)
A = 1386 m2
Thus, the area of the circular park is 1386 m2
Example 2: Find how much glass is required to cover the square window of side 25 cm.
Solution:
Given,
Side of Square Window(s) = 25 cm
Area of Square Window(A) = (s)2
A = (25)2
Using the square of 25 from the square of 1 to 30 table
252 = 625
A = 625 cm2
Thus, the glass required to cover the square window is 625 cm2
Example 3: Simplify 112 - 52 + 212
Solution:
Using Square of 1 to 30 table we get,
- 112 = 121
- 52 = 25

Solution:
Using Square of 1 to 30 table we get,
- 162 = 256
- 152 = 225
- 192 = 361
Simplifying, 162 + 152 - 192
= 256 + 225 - 361
= 481 - 361
= 120
