You will find all the information you need on the square root of 2940 calculations below. 

What is the square root of 2940?

The square root of 2940 is a number which multiplied by itself equals 2940. Therefore, the square root of 2940 is 54.221766846904 and we write it √2940=54.221766846904 because 54.2217668469042=2940. Since 54.2217668469042 is the same as 54.221766846904 x 54.221766846904 the following expressions is true:

2940 = 54.2217668469042=54.221766846904×54.221766846904

Therefore

ANSWER: square root of 2940=√2940=54.221766846904

Is 2940 a Perfect Square?

A number is considered a perfect square if it is a product of squaring a whole number (called integer). 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are all whole numbers (same as integers). Numbers such as -8, 7.025, or 5 ½ are not whole numbers. Remember squaring is when a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 81 is a perfect square because it is a product of 92 which is the same as 9×9. Notice 9 is a whole number (integer).

In our example the square root of 2940 is 54.221766846904. Since 54.221766846904 is not a whole number therefore 2940 is not a perfect square.

ANSWER: 2940 is not a whole number 

Is the square root of 2940 rational or irrational number?

A number is rational when it can be made by dividing a whole number by a whole number. A whole number which is also called an integer does not have a fractional part itself. Simply said a number is rational if it can be written as a fraction. 

A quick method to determine if 2940 is a perfect square. The square roots of perfect squares are all rational numbers. The square roots of numbers that are not a perfect square are all irrational numbers. Since we know that 2940 is not a perfect square therefore 2940 is not a rational number.

Principal square root of 2940

Every positive number has two square roots. One of the square roots is positive and another one is negative. For example the square roots of 2940 are -54.221766846904 (negative) and +54.221766846904 (positive) because  (-54.221766846904)^2=(+54.221766846904)^2=2940. The positive square root is denoted as “the principal square root”. Typically, when we are calculating “the square root of a number” we mean the principal square root. In our case it is positive 54.221766846904 or +54.221766846904 which is written as 54.221766846904. As you may know if there is no minus (-) sign before a number it is a positive number. 

Again the principal square root of 2940 is 54.221766846904.

Calculating the square root of 2940 with a calculator

In order to calculate the square root of 2940 with a basic or a scientific calculator you need to enter 2940 and then press the key with this sign  “√x”

√2940 = 54.221766846904

Calculating the square root of 2940 in Excel and Google Sheets

There are two functions you can use to do this calculation. You can use the function SQRT () to calculate the square root of any number in Excel and Google Sheets. Click on a cell and type =SQRT(2940). Hit enter. You will get 54.221766846904.

You can also use the POWER function which works like an exponent is an equation. To find a square root of 2940 type =POWER (2940, 1/2). Remember square roots can be expressed as exponents as we discussed earlier in this article.
