1. The square of a number is that number raised to the power 2.

2. A natural number is called a perfect square if it is the square of some natural number.

3. Properties of Squares
(a) A number ending in 2, 3, 7 (or) 8 is never a perfect square.
(B) A number ending in an odd number of zeros is never a perfect square.
(C) Squares of even numbers are given
(D) Squares of odd numbers are odd.
(e) For every natural number ‘n’, we have (n + 1)² – n² = (n + 1) + n e.g., – 92 – 82 = 9 + 8 = 17.
(f) A triplet (a, b, c) of three natural numbers a, b and c is called a Pythagorean triplet if a² + b² = c².

4. The square root of a number x is that number which when multiplied by itself gives x as the product.
We denote the square root of x by √x.

5. For any positive numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ we have
(i) √ab = √a × √b
(ii) √a/b = √a/√b.
