Step-by-step explanation:

  • To obtain a whole number from square roots, the number inside the root must be a perfect square.
  • If you are finding a number's cube root, it means that a number must be multiplied 3 times to obtain that number.
  • It is the same with
    \sqrt[4]{x} (Where x is the number).

Solution:

  • =>
    \sqrt{√(256)}$ = \sqrt[4]{256}
  • =>
    \sqrt[4]{256} = \sqrt[4]{(4)(4)(4)(4)}
  • =>
    \sqrt[4]{(4)(4)(4)(4)} = 4

Hence,
\sqrt{√(256)}$ is 4.
