10) Find the least number that must be subtracted from the following numbers to make them perfect squares. a) 1098 b) 4498

a. 9

b. 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) √1098 = 33.136

33^3 = 1089

So the answer is 1098 - 1089

= 9.

b) √4498 = 67.067

67^2 =  4489

Answer = 9.

a). 9

b). 9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 1098, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 1098 (that will make it 1089), it will make a perfect square.

√1089 = 33

33² = 33 × 33 = 1089

So the answer is 9.

b). If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 4498, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 4498 (that will make it 4489), it will make a perfect square.

√4489 = 67

67² = 67 × 67 = 4489

So the answer is 9.

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
