Best Answer

using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number

What is the square root of negative twenty?

Because the Square Root of negative 1 = i (The imaginary square root of negative 1.) and where if the square root of one number and of another number are multiplied together, the answer is equal to the square root of the two numbers combined. (Square root of 8 times the square root of 5 equals the square root of 40.) So... √(-20) =√20×√(-1) =√4×√5×i =2i(√5) The answer is 2i times the square root of 5. square root (-20) = square root (-1) x square root (20) square root (-20) = i x 4.47213595 square root (-20) = 4.47213595 i
