Answer: Type the number into your calculator... and hit the square root button.
Answer: To calculate with pencil and paper, several methods exist; all of them require some kind of iteration. Trial-and-error is the easiest, but not the fastest. Here is a fairly fast method: Estimate an initial square root. For example, estimate the square root of 2 as 1. Divide the number by the estimate; 2 / 1 = 2. Take the average of your prior estimate and the result of the division - in this case, 1.5. Repeat the method with this new number: 2 / 1.5 = 1.33333... Here, the new average is roughly 1.4. The number of correct digits approximately doubles every time you repeat the cycle.

you can use the square root button on a calculator. it looks like a long division ramp.
if you know the number and want to square it, just multiply it by it self.
example: i want to square six.
6x6=36
so, the square root of 36 is 6.
That's the same as the square root of positive 340, times i. Many calculators can't calculate the square root of negative numbers, since they are not set up to calculate with complex numbers, but you can simply calculate the square root of the equivalent positive number, then add "i" to the result.
No. A natural number is a whole number, that is, no digits after the decimal point. Calculate the square root of 12 on a calculator, and you will see that it is not a whole number.
I am not sure what you want to calculate; anyway, the square root of a negative number is a complex number: in this case, "i" multiplied by the square root of 7. The remaining calculations will also result in complex numbers. When you calculate points, you usually want a real number, not a complex number.
You can approximate a square root as a decimal or fraction. If you want the exact number, you have to leave it with the square root sign.
The square root of negative one is an imaginary number, signified by the italic lower-case i.
