how do you find the square root of - 203

If you mean (-203), you cannot find the square root of a negative number, so you will have to apply the concept of imaginary numbers. Do you know what I'm talking about? -1 equals i. i stands for the imaginary number. But when you do the square root of a number, you must always remember the plus or minus sign. Then you will have plus or minus i radical 203. Then from there you can solve, and keep it in the appropriate format, with the i out, because naturally, negative numbers cannot have a square root. I hope I've helped you.
