Because you are squaring numbers, the only way to get double is by using the square root of 2 which is 1.414. A good example of this is paper sizes. A4 is 210x297 A3 is double the size of A4 but to get that you need to multiply the sides by 1.414. That gives 297x420 But if you double each side of A4 you get 420x594 which is A2 and that is 4 times as big as A4 not 2 times as big.
Basically you find the number of that multiple and times it by itself.For Example: What is the square root of 36?1.) 52.) 33.) 64.) 12The answers 6. (6x6=36) Multiply the number by itself to find the square root. it's easy :)That is the answer the last person left which is completely wrong. First of all the square root of something isn't the number you get when you multiply it by itself, the square root of something is the number that multiplys by itself to get that number so the square root of 36 is 6 but I don't know how to get the square root of a really big number. My answer isUSE A CALCULATOR!!!
On your calculator, press 85 and then the square root sign.Answer:That method is no fun at all. More satisfaction from doing it the long and manual way!The process described at the Link works no matter how big the number is or how many decimal places it has. Just keep bringing those pairs of numbers down.
The length of each side is the square root of 17 square inches (about 4.123").
To determine the size of 224 square feet, you would need to find the square root of 224. The square root of 224 is approximately 14.97 feet. Therefore, 224 square feet is equivalent to an area that is approximately 14.97 feet long by 14.97 feet wide.
