Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplication of two negative numbers is always positive, we get

x *x =x^2 and -x*-x =x^2

This gives us an idea about square root

A positive number can be expressed

as a*a and -a*-a

Thus there will be two square roots one positive which is called the principal square root

The other number will be the same in value but with a negative sign.

Definition: <span>The square root of a number is another number, which on multiplying with itself, will give the original number.
</span>
Every positive number has two square roots. One square root is positive, while the other is exactly same, but negative. The positive square root of a number is called its principle square root. For example, 10 and -10 are the two square roots of 100, but 10 is called the principle square root. 

Hence e<span>very positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its opposite negative.</span>

Please help me ASAP, i will give a thanks and rate you 5 stars. Review the surface area and volume formulas for the following fi
PtichkaEL [24]
I think the best figure for a cereal box would be a cylinder. There are no corners on a cylinder where it is hard to fit round pieces of cereal into.  The formula for the surface area of the cylinder is 2*pi*r*h+2*pi*r^2. The formula for the volume of the cylinder is pi*r^2*h. (Then I would add some more info supporting why you think a cylinder would make a good box.)
