What should come in place of both x in the equation x = 162 .
128 x
12
14
144
196
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let x = 162
128 x

Then x2 = 128 x 162

   = 64 x 2 x 18 x 9

   = 82 x 62 x 32

   = 8 x 6 x 3

   = 144.

x = 144 = 12.

X = square root 128*162

= square root 64*2*81*2

= square root 64*81*4

= 8*9*2 = 144

Why answer is showing 12?

The above said method is easy to find. Because we can split the no by using the square values we know.

128*162 = 20736.

Now find the square root by long division method.

Square root = 144.

Thus x = 12.

X^2 = √128x√162
X^2 = 8√2x9√2
X^2 = 72x2
X^2 = 144
X = √144.
X = 12.

x^2 = root of 128 * 162.
= root of 20736.
x^2 = 144,
x = root of 144,
x = 12.

@Jiyan prathap.

This is not working to roots I thinks so but it useful for me.

@Jiyan prathap. Can we find square root of all others too by using this method?

Harshi said:   1 decade ago
Your method is not correct the sqrt of 169 is 13 by your method it is also 12.

If I use 81 *2 in place of 162 then? In 81 *2, 81 is also a perfect square.

Short method is that first take LCM of number given then make pairs.
