Find the perfect squares that your number lies between. Your square root will lie between their square roots. Whichever it is closer to will indicate the size of the decimal.

What make a number a perfect square number?

A perfect square is the square of an integer, i.e., an integer multiplied by itself. For example, 25 is a perfect square, because 5 x 5 = 25. But, in literal mathematical terms, a perfect number is a positive integer that is the sum of its proper positive divisors, excluding the number itself. A square number is also called a "perfect square", so an example of a square number is above. So, a perfect square number would have to be a number that is both perfect and square, and there are yet to be any of these numbers "discovered".

How can you find the square root of pi?

As nobody has yet managed to fully define pi, we cannot come up with a square root for it. For most textbooks the value of pi is usually approximated to 3.1416. The square root of that is 1.772455923288362, and you may round that off to whatever number of decimal places you require.


What is the square root of any whole number?

The square root of a positive whole number, N, is a number which, when multiplied by itself equals N. If N = 0 then the square root is also 0. If N is greater than 0 there will be two such numbers: one positive and the other its negative equivalent. If N is a perfect square the square roots will, themselves, be whole numbers. Otherwise, they will be irrational numbers. If N is a whole number less than 0 then there are no real square roots. Although there are square roots in the complex field, the fact that you ask this question is indicative that you are not yet ready to tackle complex numbers.


What is the estimated square root of 12?

i x 2 x the square root of 3 or approximately 3.46i.i is the square root of negative -1. It is what mathematicians call an imaginary number. Even though they use an unfortunate name like "imaginary" it is not imaginary in the same sense that unicorns and fairies are. If you have not covered imaginary numbers in your grade yet, tell your teacher that there is no answer in the real number system.

How do you find the value number if you already have a square root?

Multiply the square root by itself. After you do that, please discuss the idea of square roots with somebody who knows. You don't understand them yet.

What is the square root of a triangle?

A square root is a numerical function. The square root of a non-negative real number is a real number which, when multiplied by itself, produced the given the number. So, for example, given the number 9, its square roots are -3 and +3 since (-3)*(-3) = 9 and also, (+3)*(+3) = 9. Actually, negative numbers also have square roots but, judging by this question, you have not yet advanced to that level of mathematics. Meanwhile, a triangle is a geometric shape and cannot have a square root.


What is the square of the square root of -4?

-4 can be written as 4 x -1, therefore the root can be broken up as root(-4) = root(4) x root(-1) If you haven't done maths to this level yet, you may not have seen this, but the Mathematician Gauss introduced the idea of complex numbers and their representation to solve an age-old problem of the square root of negative numbers. He brought in a new notation: root(-1) = i (Some engineers like to use j instead of i as i often represents electrical current) Since root(4) = -2 or 2, root(-4) = 2i or -2i (written as ±2i)

How many square roots does a negative Number have?

This depends on whether you include imaginary numbers. The imaginary unit i is defined such that i² = -1. So the square root of -1 will be either i or -i. So the answer is there are 2 square roots for any number. Now if you are at a level of mathematics, which does not yet consider i, then the answer is you cannot take the square root of a negative.


What is the square root or x if it is less then 9?

Assuming you are not yet into complex numbers, the answer is: some number between 0 and 3 (but not including 3).


Is an irrational number times an irrational number always irrational?

The square root of 2 is irrational, yet the product of it with itself is 2. So the answer is no.
