+118677 Actually Dbg4thebest I would like to follow that up on that genuine thank you. :)
You would have been better to use any example other than $$\sqrt4$$ This is because people confuse square root with halving numbers.
I will often see $${{\mathtt{3}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{6}}$$ or $${\sqrt{{\mathtt{16}}}} = {\mathtt{8}}$$ BOTH OF WHICH ARE WRONG!
So you would be better to use an example like $${\sqrt{{\mathtt{16}}}} = {\mathtt{4}}$$ so that there is less room for confusion. :)
+870 The square root of a positive number n is a number a, which, when squared (multiplied by itself) is equal to that number :
$${{\mathtt{a}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{n}}$$
+118677 Einstein, do you think that the student who asked this question will understand your answer?
+4711 Square root is the opposite of squaring, square root is when you find the number that doubles to make your number.
Like EinsteinJr said.
If N Was your number and A was your number that you double (or square).
The formula would look like.
$${{\mathtt{a}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{N}}$$
$$\\\\\sqrt{\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{N}}=\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{A}\\\\
\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{A}\times\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{A}=\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{N}$$
+118677 Thanks MathsGod but you need to get rid of that word 'doubled' (you used it twice I think)
Doubled means multiply by two and that in NOT what you are doing here.
The word you need is 'squared' or simply 'multiplied by itself' 
The rest is good :)

+1222 I had just tried to use this forum better than before, when you said that I just post garbage...
Had you seen?
+118677 YES I HAD SEEN YOUR IMPROVED ATTITUDE !
Had you not noticed my different attitude to you the last couple of days!
I did not say that your answer on this thread was a garbage post - you could not be more wrong!
I was teaching you how to teach that is all. My thanks was guenuine!
In the thank you that I gave to MathsGod1 I was also picking him up on a small error. Didn't you notice!
If I try to teach you something that means I think you are worth teaching! It is a compliment!
