The factor tree for 1,764 is shown.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|--------------1764------------|

| |

2 |-------882-----------|

| |

2 |--------441------|

| |

|------9-----| |----49---|

| | | |

3 3 7 7

From the factor tree we see that

$1764 = 2^2 \times 3^3 \times 7^2$

Now we need to find the square root of 1764.

$\sqrt{1764} = \sqrt{2^2 \times 3^2 \times 7^2} = \sqrt{(2 \times 3 \times 7)^2} = \sqrt{(42)^2} = 42$
