Tough in a basic text software such as Notepad. In Microsoft Word 2007, you can use Insert > Equation or Insert > symbol. Otherwise, it is acceptable to use the function sqrt(), as in sqrt(4) = +/- 2. Sqrt() is a legal function in most software and programming languages. It is easily understood in a mathematical expression.
============================ In Windows, go to Start->all programs -> accessories -> system tools and click on Character Map. Select the font "symbol" and then click on the square root symbol. Then click on select and copy. The symbol will now be copied to your clipboard and you can paste it like this: √
plug it into a calculator - (square root symbol, insert value of volume, end parenthesis)/(height value, pi symbol)

Use the equation editor, to make your equations look better. Note that this is designed to write the equations and symbols, not to solve them. Select "Insert", then "Object", then "Object" again. Under "Type", choose "Microsoft Equation 3.0". This equation editor has capabilities to show square roots, other roots, integrals, fractions, and many other options.
The symbol is not considered an integer. Thevalue of the square root is, though.
