Question

I'm confused on simplifying radicals.​

Answer 1

the answer is 4

Explanation:

I use a calulator but if you dont have one then the way to do square roots is find a number say 4 and put it to the 2 power and it equaks 16 (4^2)=16. I cant really explain much more

Answer 2

Answer: 4 or
`√(4 * 4)`

To find the square root of a number, remember that there will be two factors that are the same that will give you the product.

Lets start from 1:

1 x 1 = 1

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

As you can see, 4 x 4 is 16. To make sure I'm correct, remember that a square roots consists two identical factors.

4 and 4 are the same numbers.

Therefore,
`√(16)` = 4

It can also be written as
`√(4 * 4)`
