MCQ
Using suitable identity, evaluate $(7.5)^2$
  • $56.25$
  • B
    $56.5$
  • C
    $56.025$
  • D
    $81$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$56.25$
A.  $56.25$
Solution:
Writing $7.5 = 7 + 0.5$
$(7.5)^2 = (7 + 0.5)^2$
Using $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab,$ we have $(7.5)^2 = (7 + 0.5)^2 = 7^2 + 2 × 7 \times 0.5 + (0.5)^2= 49 + 7 + 0.25 = 56.25$
