Is your question "What does the square root of 2 mean?" ? If so then the square root of 2 is the number that satisfies number * number = 2. Just like the square root of 9 is 3 because 3 * 3 = 9,  the square root of 16 is 4 because 4 * 4 = 16, the square root of 25 is 5 because 5 * 5 = 25,.....

   What is the value of square root 2? Its value is not a whole number but a decimal number. Your calaculator will give as 1.414...

the square root of 2 is an irrational number.   It can be approximated but it cannot be written exactly using numerals

 

youcan use the calc to estimate it if you wish.

put it in as 

sqrt(2)=   

or

2^(1/2)=
