The following are the easy methods for finding the squares of two digit numbers :-

This method describes how to find square of any two digit number which ends with 5

65² = 65 × 65
But you need not multiply 65 by 65 to get 65² . Use the following easy method to find the square of any two digit number ending with 5.5 is the unit digit and 6 is the ten digit in the given number 65.

To find 65² :-

Add 1 to 6 that gives you 6 + 1 = 7.
Multipy 6 by 7 :- 6 × 7 = 42.
Put 25 by the right side of 42 to give 4225 therefore 65² = 4225.

To find 85² :-

Multipy 8 by its next number 9. ie. 8 × 9 = 72
Put 25 by the side of 72 to give 7225 therefor 85² = 7225

It may be regarded as follows .
65² = (6 × 7) 100 + 25 = 4225
85² = (8 × 9) 10 0+ 25 = 7225

It may also be regarded as follows,
65² = (6² + 6) 100 + 25 = 4225
85² = (8² + 8) 100 + 25 = 7225
No steps need be shown.Only the correct answer is to be given.
