Square roots review
Review square roots, and try some practice problems.
Square roots
The square root of a number is the factor that we can multiply by itself to get that number.
The symbol for square root is square root of, end square root .
Finding the square root of a number is the opposite of squaring a number.
Παράδειγμα:
start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd, times, start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd or start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd, squared equals, start color #1fab54, 16, end color #1fab54
Έτσι square root of, start color #1fab54, 16, end color #1fab54, end square root, equals, start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd
If the square root is a whole number, it is called a perfect square! In this example, start color #1fab54, 16, end color #1fab54 is a perfect square because its square root is a whole number.

Finding square roots
If we can't figure out what factor multiplied by itself will result in the given number, we can make a factor tree.
Παράδειγμα:
Here is the factor tree for 36:
So the prime factorization of 36 is 2, times, 2, times, 3, times, 3.
We're looking for square root of, 36, end square root, so we want to split the prime factors into two identical groups.
Notice that we can rearrange the factors like so:
So left parenthesis, 2, times, 3, right parenthesis, squared, equals, 6, squared, equals, 36.
So, square root of, 36, end square root is 6.
