So, We Have:

4y^(2) = 256
We Need To Solve.
Lets Start By Finding the Square Root Of 256.

4y = √(256) \\ We\ Know\ That\ √(256) = 16. So,\ The\ Equation\ Becomes:\\ 4y = 16\\ Divide\ Both\ Sides\ By\ 4.\\ y = 16/4\\ 16/4 = 4,\ So:\\ Y = 4\\ Check:\\ 4*4 ^(2) = 256\\ 4*4 = 16.\\ 16^(2) = 256\\ 256 = 256\\ This\ Is\ True.\ So,\ y = 4.
