Solution:

We will find the square root of each number using the long division method.

(i) √2304

  1. Group the digits in pairs starting from the right: 23 04
  2. Find the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to 23. That's 4 (4² = 16).
  3. Subtract 16 from 23, leaving 7.
  4. Bring down the next pair, 04.
  5. Double the quotient (4) to get 8. Now we need to find a digit 'x' such that (80 + x) * x ≤ 704. That digit is 8 (80+8 = 88, 88 * 8 = 704).
  6. Subtract 704 from 704, leaving 0.
    Therefore, √2304 = 48.

(ii) √4489

  1. Group the digits: 44 89
  2. Find the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to 44. That's 6 (6² = 36).
  3. Subtract 36 from 44, leaving 8.
  4. Bring down the next pair, 89.
  5. Double the quotient (6) to get 12. Now we need to find a digit 'x' such that (120 + x) * x ≤ 889. That digit is 7 (127 * 7 = 889).
  6. Subtract 889 from 889, leaving 0.
    Therefore, √4489 = 67.

  6. Subtract 749 from 749, leaving 0.
    Therefore, √3249 = 57.

(vi) √1369

  1. Group the digits: 13 69
  2. Find the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to 13. That's 3 (3² = 9).
  3. Subtract 9 from 13, leaving 4.
  4. Bring down the next pair, 69.
  5. Double the quotient (3) to get 6. Now we need to find a digit 'x' such that (60 + x) * x ≤ 469. That digit is 7 (67 * 7 = 469).
  6. Subtract 469 from 469, leaving 0.
    Therefore, √1369 = 37.

(vii) √5776

  1. Group the digits: 57 76
  2. Find the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to 57. That's 7 (7² = 49).
