How do you do square roots totem pole

Answer 1

Well the square root of a number is a number times its self equaling the number you're getting the square root of. For example:

√ 25

To get sqrt of 25 we need to find a number times its self that equals 25. Lets try 8.

8 x 8 = 64

Well thats much too high, We'll try a lower number.

4 x 4 = 16

Just a little higher.

5 x 5 = 25

Since 5 times itself equals 25 that makes it the sqrt.

So, the √ 25 is 5.
