square root

Also known as 2nd root, second root, square root function, second root function, 2nd root function

inverse operation of square for finding the original base number; that base number itself

AI overview

A square root is the number that, when multiplied by itself, gives you the original number—for example, 3 is the square root of 9 because 3 × 3 = 9. Square roots matter because they let us reverse the squaring process and solve practical problems in areas like construction, engineering, and science where we need to find missing measurements.
