Answer 7

Well if you have a perfect square than you can 1 4 9 16 25 etc... or if your want to simplify square root of 20 you could

Answer 8

What number are you looking at?

Answer 9

25

Answer 10

So than if it this way the opposite is squaring so x^2=25 what would x be?

Answer 11

for example sqrt(3617) = ?

Answer 12

well 25 ÷ 2 = 12.5, x = 12.5. idk how to do x to the of 2 exactly

Answer 13

X=sqrt25 square both sides x=(sqrt25)2 so x^2=25 and because your squaring with a square root the square root does away this is saying x times x=25 so what two numbers that are the same is 25?

Answer 14

5 • 5 = 25

Answer 15

Yes so your answer is 5

Answer 16
