Because for a number to be a square number it must have a number which when multiplied by it self=that number.
For example:
36 is a square number because 6x6=36
16 is a square number because 4x4=16
A negative number such as -16 is not a Square Number because -4x-4=16 not -16 because a negative times a negative is a positive. -4x4=-16 but these numbers aren't the same therefore -16 isn't a square number.
This is why negative numbers cant be Square Numbers

There is no square root for a negative number. It is an imaginary number.
The square root of a negative number is known as an imaginary number. In this case, the square root of negative 37 would be represented as √(-37) = √37i, where "i" is the imaginary unit equal to the square root of -1. This means that the square root of negative 37 is the square root of 37 multiplied by the imaginary unit "i".
The square root of negative 168 is: ~12.9315 i
Square roots of negative numbers are what are called imaginary numbers. The building block of imaginary numbers is the symbol i which is defined as the square root of negative 1. The square root of other negative numbers can be expressed using i. For example, the square root of negative sixteen is 4i, the square root of negative nine is 3i and so on.
you can square a negative number but you can not square root a negative number
using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number
impossible
A negative square root is an imaginary number.
One cannot find the square root of a negative number.
it is impossible to get the square root of a negative, since the definition of a square root is something times itself. example: the square root of 16 is 4 because 4 x 4 = 16. and a negative times a negative is a positive, so the square root of a negative is impossible. however, you can do the square root of 121 (which is 11) and make the 11 a negative. 11 x 11 = 121 and -11 x -11 = 121 but you could make 11 negative after the fact, if that is what you wanted to do.
It doesn't have a square root, it is impossible because any number times itself is a postive.

There is no need to find the square root of a negative number for sqrt(0.6)!
The square root of 18 is: ± 4.242641
I think it is Xi (whatever the square root of the positive is times i). i is an imaginary number that when you square it, it becomes negative. eg. the square root of -4 is 2i. Without "i", it would be impossible to square root a negative number, as any number times itself will always equal a positive.
There is no square root for a negative number. It is an imaginary number.
