Square root signs are typically not included in most fonts on the computer.
The above is correct, but you can make a square root sign with any keyboard using ASCII code "alt 251", like this √ - simply hold the alt key and type in 251 and a √ will appear when you release the alt key. You can make hundreds of different symbols this way, just search ASCII codes. ♂♀♪♫ etc.....
I don't know of any Alt code, but you could copy it from the character map. On Vista and Windows 7 you can just type Character Map in the Start Menu search. For older operating systems, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map. The square root sign is near the bottom of the list. You can find it quickly by making sure "Advanced View" is checked and by typing "square root" in the search box.

If using Office software, type 221A followed by Alt-X
On a PC, if you hold down the ALT key while typing 251 you get √, which is supposed to look like a square root symbol.
or, you can just Google "square root sign" and copy and paste it.
√ was easy enough.
Hold the "Alt" key, then press 2 5 1 on your numpad and release Alt.
√
*Note, numbers on the numpad and the numbers above the letters of the keyboard are not the same, if you are on a laptop without a numpad press and hold the "Fn" and "Alt" key and then press K I J instead of 2 5 1
how do you type square root on the computer
hold ALT press 251.
at first i was like how would that give you a square root. i tried it. it works!
In absence of the square root sign, you can write out the square root of expression x using the power form, x1/2 (that's x to the power of one over two).
There are many ways one can make the square root symbol on their computer. One can make the square root symbol on their computer by holding down the ALT key as you type 251.
221A + alt-X
2
It is 221A + Alt X
It is a keyboard, not a keybored ! There is no square root button on a standard keyboard, but if you are bored, you can find out how to program a key and get one of the keys to be your square root key.
yes.
press alt and then v (at least it worked on mine)
There is probably no square root button on the laptop keyboard. Look around in the software on the computer for an application called " Calculator ". That will have a button on it to perform the square root operation, plus buttons for a lot of other operations too.
Nothing!
Unfortunately you cannot writ a sq. root symbol on the computer, so you could just say 'squared.'
√3 Use the check mark. Alt or Option v on a Mac
There is no single square root button on a keyboard. You can sometimes get the square root symbol by holding down alt and pressing 2 then 5 then 1 (or alt + 251). If that doesn't work, you could copy and paste it. √ (that square root sign is from pressing alt + 251)
221A and then ALT-X.
It would be the square root key. (√) `it is not on the keyboard
