You can make a rough estimate by squaring numbers. 10x10 is 100. 11x11 is 121, 12x12 is 144, 13x13 is 169. So it is approximately 12.5.
The best way is to get a calculator and hit the tick sign and then type in 156.25. This gives you 12.5, so my estimate actually got it right!

The following are two more systematic ways:
The first is to express 156.25 as a top heavy fraction.
156.25 = 1561/4 = 625/4.
Then, sqrt(156.25) = sqrt(625/4) = sqrt(625)/sqrt(4) = 25/4 = 12.5
That method relies on your knowing that 156.25 has a rational square root. If you did not know that, perhaps the simplest method is an iterative method - of which the Newton Raphson is one. This method entails making a guess at the answer and then improving on it. Repeating the procedure should lead to a better estimate at each stage.
To start with, if you want to find the square root of 156.25, define f(x) = x2 - 156.25.
Then finding the square root of 156.25 is equivalent to solving f(x) = 0.
Let f'(x) = 2x. This is the derivative of f(x) but you do not need to know that to use the N-R method.
Start with x0 as the first guess.
Then let xn+1 = xn - f(xn)/f'(xn) for n = 0, 1, 2, …
Provided you made a reasonable choice for the starting point, the iteration will very quickly converge to the true answer. Even if your first guess is not so good:
You know that the square root of 100 is 10.
So suppose you start with x0 = 10 (not the best possible choice since 102 is less than 2/3 of your target).
Even so, x3 = 12.000006, approx, an error of less one in ten trillion.
Finally, remember that the negative value is also a square root.
√156.25
The square root of 15625 is ±125 because 125 X 125= 15625.
The inverse operation of taking the square root is to calculate the square.
Any positive number is the square root of its square. In other words, you need to calculate the square of 0.75.
The approx difference is 0.7
Calculate the square root of 512 on any calculator, then multiply the result by 3.Note: If you actually mean the third root, this is NOT called the square root. You can calculate this in Excel with the formula: =512^(1/3) In other words, raise 512 to the power 1/3.
The square root of 15625 is ±125 because 125 X 125= 15625.
The sixth root of 15625, or 15625 ^ (1/6) is equal to 5.
1) 125 is the square root of 15625. 2) √125 = √(25 x 5) = √(52x 5) = 5√5
125² = 15625
The best would be to use a scientific calculator, one that can calculate any root. You can also raise the number 15625 to the power (1/6) - this is the same as taking the 6th. root. Or, you can try raising several numbers to the 6th. power, until you find one that is close enough.
square root of 90
Yes because 125*125 = 15625
