Based on my reasoning with the square root of 90, what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I don't understand what you mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know what is square root

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Oh, ok. A square root is an operation that basically "undoes" squaring.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aand i dont know how to solve square root

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

For example, since 2^2=4, the square root of 4 is 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Only perfect squares have integer square roots.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Like the square root of 9 is 3

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And the square root of 16 is 4.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

A square root of any number in between 9 and 16 is going to be a decimal between 3 and 4.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You can check that with your calculator.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Make sense?
