If you have not studied complex numbers, then the answer is as follows:
The rules of multiplication for real numbers are that
a positive times a positive is a positive, and
a negative times a negative is a negative.
[Also, 0 times 0 is 0].
The upshot of all that is the square is never negative. And so, the answer is that there is no real number whose square is -62.
If you have studied complex numbers then you should not be asking such basic questions! Still, the square roots of -62 are the complex pair ±7.874i where i is the imaginary square root of -1.

How do you get the square root of negative 144?
square root of a negative number is imaginary square root of negative 1 is defined as i square root of negative 144 is sqrt ((144)(-1)) = 12i
How do you do a square root of a negative number that is not a perfect square?
The square root of a negative number is not real.
Is negative 64 square root of an integer?
Negative 64 is the square root of an integer. The square root of -64 is not an integer.
What is the square root of a negative number plus the square root of a negative number?
Nothing. You cannot have a square root of a negative number. The square root of negative one is called i, but i is an imaginary number. It does not exist and does not follow the properties of real numbers. (For example, if a and b are positive, then the square root of a times the square root of b is the square root of ab. But the square root of -7 is not the square root of 7 times i.)
What is an example of a rational number between the negative square root of four and the square root of four?
-1,0,or 1 the negative square root of four is negative two and the square root of four is two
