Since it's hard to type math symbols on the computer, I'll represent the "fourth root" with the symbol ^(1/4).
So your initial problem would look like 324^(1/4).
Got it?
The first thing you must do is factor 324. It's obvious (or should be) that 2 is a factor.
324/2 = 162
2 is also a factor of 162.
162/2 = 81
And of course 81 = 9 * 9 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3
So the complete factorization of 324 is
324 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 2 * 2
So . . .
324^(1/4) = 3*(2*2)^(1/4) = 3*4^(1/4)
Thus your final answer would be 3*4^(1/4).

Square root of 324 = square root of (81 x 4) = square root of 81 x square root of 4 and that is 9 x 2 = 18 cm
the square root of 18 can be simplified to 3 * the square root of 2.The perfect square 9 is a factor of 18. That means the square root of 9 * the square root of 2 = the square root of 18.the square root of 9 can be simplified to 3.That leaves 3 * the square root of 2.
To find the length of each side of the square floor, you need to take the square root of the area. Since the area is 324 square units, the square root of 324 is 18. Therefore, each side of the square floor is 18 units long.
It is sqrt(3281), which cannot be simplified.
