Why?

It's easier to work with, because you might have to square root something. Also a lot of numbers go into numbers like that. It's just easier to work with.

Do you mean take the square root of it? Because it wouldn't be any easier to square a number like 64 or 81. And your second point isn't really true. Take a look at 49, the only numbers that go into it are 3, 13 and 7. Same with 81 (except 3, 27 and 9).

3 and 13 do not go into 49... just saying. >.>

Aww, dammit, I'm a dumbass. I was thinking 39 for some reason, I need some sleep

Haha. I'd suggest sleeping before you do your summer math homework then.

Haha, no summer math homework for me! Although I am taking 2 math classes this year so I guess that makes up for it...

I fixed it. The first part is more then the second part. If you are taking math over Algebra or Geometry then you need to square root numbers a lot. Like Pythagorean theorem, and the quadratic formula.

I think you're mistaken. Squaring a perfect square isn't helpful, the only times perfect squares are helpful is when you take the SQUARE ROOT of them.

I said square root

When u get a sqare number u feel better about the answer, rather than a random number that doesnt sound right
