Squaring Two-Digit Numbers Ending in Five

  • The method discussed involves finding the square of two-digit numbers ending in five, like 25, 35, and 65.
  • To find the square of a number like 65, multiply the square of the digit 5 (25) by the product of the digit 6 and its successor, 7, resulting in 42.
  • This method simplifies the calculation by breaking down the process into smaller steps.
  • The square of numbers ending in five can be found by multiplying the square of the digit 5 by the product of the tens place digit and its successor.
  • The process involves multiplying the tens place digit by its successor and squaring the digit 5 to obtain the final result.
  • The method is applicable to any two-digit number ending in five, providing a straightforward way to calculate the square.
  • The technique extends to three-digit numbers ending in five, maintaining the same principles for calculation.
  • Moving on to Pythagorean triplets, these are sets of three positive integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, such as 3, 4, and 5.
  • The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right-angled triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse.
  • Pythagorean triplets follow a specific pattern, represented as 2m, m^2 - 1, and m^2 + 1, where m is a positive integer.
