Question

find the square root of 0.0144
can not use a calculator

Answer 1

HI :) The way to answer this question is to be able to see that when you square root a number it is the same as raising the number to "1/2", e.g. \[\sqrt{4}=4^{1/2}\]

Answer 2

also by moving the decimal over to the right you can rewrite your number as \[144*10^{-4}\]
