what is a square root

Hi Kingpi,

When answering questions like this you are better off to stay away from 4

This is because people get confused between  2+2 and 2*2 since the answer is the same.  

See what I mean?

 

$$\sqrt{25}=5$$

because

$$5*5=25$$

a number times itself(square=equal length and width times each other) that equals a number example: 2 is the square root of 4 because 2 times itself =4

 

4 the square has length and width that is 2 units long, l(2units)*w(2 units)=4 the square
