Say the monomial is 4a squared. To find the square root to must do each part seperately. So square root of 4 is 2 and the square root of a-squared is |a| because we do not know the sign of a. The answer is 2|a|. If there is anything that cannot be "square rooted" then it would stay under a square root sign and just multiply by 2a as well.

The principal root of a number is only its positive root (you can understand that you are looking for the principal root from the sign in front of the radical, which is a positive one)
