In a right triangle, the altitude with the hypotenuse as base divides the hypotenuse into two sections p and q. If we denote the length of the altitude by h, we have the relation h2 = p*q (Euklids altitutude theorem).

So, first draw the square root of 2 as the diagonal of a square with side length 1, then construct a right triangle with p=1 and q= sqrt(2) by using the Thales theorem and its altitude will be fourth root of 2 according to Euclids theorem.

What number has the square root of 4 and a fourth root of 2?

The answer is 16.If this number has the square root of 4 and the fourth root of 2 then this means that it is equal to 42 (4 * 4) and 24 (2 * 2 * 2 * 2).42 = 24 = 16.

What does it mean if there are two square root symbols over a number?

Take the square root of the square root of the number (that is the fourth root of the number), for example: √√16 = √(√16) = √4 = 2 24 = 16 ⇒ 2 is the fourth root of 16.


I have a Math problem that has a square root with a number outside the little check what does that mean?

the square root of x*x is x if there is a 3 then a square root it is acutally cube root. the cube root of x*x*x is x if there is a 4 then a check symbol then that is fourth root. the fourth root of x*x*x*x is x. the square root of 16 is 4(4*4=16). the fourth root of 16 is 2(2*2*2*2=16).


How do you get the fourth root of a number?

Take your number to the exponent (1/4). Example: Fourth root of 16. 16^ (1/4) = 2
