Question

What is a square root? DO NOT USE GOOGLE TO ANSWER THIS.

Answer 1

Sure.

A square root is the number or factor that, when multiplied by itself, will equal the number.

For example:

√49 = 7 (read as "the square root of 49 equals seven"

7 * 7 = 49 (read as "seven times seven equals 49"

7^2 = 49 (read as "seven squared equals 49"

Using an exponent and raising a number to the power of 2 squares it, which multiplies it by itself.

It is helpful to memorize all square roots up to 144, which is 12.
