numbers
Squaring of Nine
The nearest power of 10 to 9 is 10. Therefore, let us take 10
as our base.
2. Since 9 is 1 less than 10, decrease it by the deficiency ( 9
- 1 = 8). This is the leftmost digit of our answer.
3. On the right hand side put the square of the deficiency,
which is 1. Hence, thesquare of nine is 81.
