Question

`√(49)`A. 14B. 9 C. 7 D. 8

Answer 1

We are asked to find the square root of 49

`\sqrt[]{49}`

Remember that square root is the opposite of the square.

The square root of 49 means that we have to find a number such that when we take the square (multiply two times) of that number the result is 49.

Let us analyze each of the given options!

A. 14

squaring 14 will result in 14×14 = 196 (not 49)

That's not the number we are looking for.

B. 9

squaring 9 will result in 9×9 = 81 (not 49)

That's not the number we are looking for.

C. 7

squaring 7 will result in 7×7 = 49

Yes, that's the number we were looking for.

Therefore, the square root of 49 is 7.

`\sqrt[]{49}=7`
