Well the square root of a number is a number times its self equaling the number you're getting the square root of. For example:
√ 25
To get sqrt of 25 we need to find a number times its self that equals 25. Lets try 8.
8 x 8 = 64
Well thats much too high, We'll try a lower number.
4 x 4 = 16
Just a little higher.
5 x 5 = 25
Since 5 times itself equals 25 that makes it the sqrt.
So, the √ 25 is 5.
