A negative number cannot have a square root in basic mathematics. However, in more advanced mathematics, you will study complex numbers. And there you will find that the square roots of -80 are ± 8.944*i where i is the imaginary square root of -1.
Incidentally, ± 8.944 are the square roots of +80.

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?

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.)
