    The square of n (most easily calculated when n is between 26 and 74 inclusive) is (50 − n) 2 + 100(n − 25) In other words, the square of a number is the square of its difference from fifty added to one hundred times the difference of the number and twenty five. For example, to square 62: (−12) 2 + [(62-25) × 100] = 144 + 3,700 = 3,844

  3. Square root of 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_5

    Algebraic form. Continued fraction. The square root of 5 is the positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the prime number 5. It is more precisely called the principal square root of 5, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property. This number appears in the fractional expression for the golden ratio.

  4. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Inscribe a square in the circle, so that its four corners lie on the circle. Between the square and the circle are four segments. If the total area of those gaps, G 4, is greater than E, split each arc in half. This makes the inscribed square into an inscribed octagon, and produces eight segments with a smaller total gap, G 8.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-1_(puzzle)

    The Square-1 (full name " Back to Square One ") or alternatively, " Cube 21 ", was invented by Karel Hršel and Vojtěch Kopský in 1990. Application for a Czechoslovak patent was filed on 8 November 1990, then filed as a "priority document" on January 1, 1991. The patent was finally approved on 26 October 1992, with patent number CS277266 [3 ...

  6. Centered square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centered_square_number

    In elementary number theory, a centered square number is a centered figurate number that gives the number of dots in a square with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center dot in successive square layers. That is, each centered square number equals the number of dots within a given city block distance of the center dot on a ...

    The half-angle formula for sine can be obtained by replacing with / and taking the square-root of both sides: ⁡ (/) = (⁡) /. Note that this figure also illustrates, in the vertical line segment E B ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {EB}}} , that sin ⁡ 2 θ = 2 sin ⁡ θ cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \sin 2\theta =2\sin \theta \cos \theta } .

  8. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    If two numbers (whose average is a number which is easily squared) are multiplied, the difference of two squares can be used to give you the product of the original two numbers. For example: 27 × 33 = ( 30 − 3 ) ( 30 + 3 ) {\displaystyle 27\times 33=(30-3)(30+3)}

  9. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers (a, b) forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the "imaginary unit", that satisfies i2 = −1. In mathematics, a complex number is an element of a number system that extends ...
