How to calculate the square root of 45 with a computer If you are using a computer that has Excel or Numbers, then you can enter SQRT(45) in a cell to get the square root of 45. Below is the result we got with 13 decimals. We call this the square root of 45 in decimal form.

SQRT(45) ≈ 6.7082039324994

What is the square root of 45 rounded? The square root of 45 rounded to the nearest tenth, means that you want one digit after the decimal point. The square root of 45 rounded to the nearest hundredth, means that you want two digits after the decimal point. The square root of 45 rounded to the nearest thousandth, means that you want three digits after the decimal point.

10th: √45 ≈ 6.7

100th: √45 ≈ 6.71

1000th: √45 ≈ 6.708

What is the square root of 45 as a fraction? Like we said above, since the square root of 45 is an irrational number, we cannot make it into an exact fraction. However, we can make it into an approximate fraction using the square root of 45 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

√45

≈ 6.71/1 ≈ 671/100

≈ 6 71/100

What is the square root of 45 written with an exponent? All square roots can be converted to a number (base) with a fractional exponent. The square root of 45 is no exception. Here is the rule and the answer to "the square root of 45 converted to a base with an exponent?":

√b = b½

√45 = 45½

How to find the square root of 45 by long division method Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 45 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 45 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)

Set up 45 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:

Step 2) Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 45 is 36, and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, put 6 on top and 36 at the bottom like this:

Step 3) Calculate 45 minus 36 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

Step 4) Double the number in green on top: 6 × 2 = 12. Then, use 12 and the bottom number to make this problem:

12? × ? ≤ 900

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 7. Now, enter 7 on top: That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 45 with one digit decimal accuracy is 6.7.

Let us now calculate the square root of 45.

Simplify square root of 45

We will now find the simplest radical form the square root of 45. Note the 45 is a non-perfect square number. Thus we will try to express 45 as a product of a perfect square number and a non-perfect square number. See that

45 = 9×5.

Here 9 is a perfect square number whose square root is 3.

Taking square root on both sides of 45 = 9×5, we get that

√45 = √(9×5)

= √9 × √5 as we know that √(a×b)=√a × √b

= 3 × √5 as √9=3

= 3√5

∴ the simplest form of the square root of 45 is 3√5.
