Someone help me right now with this math

Finding a square root of a number is the opposite of

squaring a number.

Squaring a number means multiplying the number by itself.
Finding the square root of a number is the opposite. A square root of a number is a number you can square to get the original number. For example, a square root of 16 is 4, because 4x 4=16.
You can show a square root with the symbol √.
Fun Fact
When you square a whole number, you get a number called a perfect square. For example, 16, 25, and 36 are all perfect squares. Their square roots are whole numbers.
Your Turn: Give two more examples of a perfect squares.

Answer:

4, 49

Explanation:

If you find the square root of 4 it is 2, making it a perfect square.

if you find the square root of 49, it is 7.

finding a perfect square is easy, simply multiply a smaller number by itself, (7x7) or (2x2) and you will find that is the square root, usually, however there are always some exceptions. A number can always have a smaller square root like √10 is 3.16227766
