Check

which statements about square roots are true? Check all that apply.
The square root of a positive number cannot be negative.
All positive numbers have two square roots.
18 = 9 because 9(2) = 18.
49 = 7 because 7(7) = 49.
125 = 5 because 52= 25.

Answer:

They are both true.

Explanation:

The question says square so you multiply the term by itself. For example,-3 times -3 is still positive 9 and 3 times 3 is also 9. The square rot of a positive number cannot be a negative because a negative times a negative is a positive and that's what a square root is. Hope this helps!
