	\[1^{2}\]	\[2^{2}\]	\[3^{2}\]	\[4^{2}\]	\[5^{2}\]	\[6^{2}\]	\[7^{2}\]	\[8^{2}\]	\[9^{2}\]
square number	1	4	9	16	25	36	49	64	81
digital root	1	4	9	7	7	9	4	1	9

(a) Complete the table of digital roots of the next nine square numbers.

	\[10^{2}\]	\[11^{2}\]	\[12^{2}\]	\[13^{2}\]	\[14^{2}\]	\[16^{2}\]	\[16^{2}\]	\[17^{2}\]	\[18^{2}\]
square number	100	121	144	169	196	225	256	289	324
digital root				7					9
