The quickest way, because 11 is odd, is as follows:Find two consecutive integers which add to 11.
From the origin, O, draw an arc of a circle with radius 6 units.
From the point 5, draw a vertical line to meet this arc an the point X.
You now have a right angled triangle O5X which has a right angle at 5.
By Pythagoras's Theorem,
OX^2 = O5^2 + 5X^2 => 6^2 = 5^2 + 5x^2
therefore 5X^2 = 6^2 - 5^2 = 36 - 25 = 11
and so 5X = sqrt(11)
So the length represented by 5X, the vertical line from 5 to the arc has a length = sqrt(11).

The root number for 11 is both "1" and "11."
Technically, yes, but 11 is a prime number, therefore the cubic root of 11 will be expressed as a rational number. The cube root of 11 (rounded to the nearest thousandth) is 2.223
The square root of 121 is 11, and 11 is a rational number.
-11 is 11 units away from zero on a number line.
No. In general, the square root of a negative number is an imaginary number, which is not a real number.
