Square root of a number is a value, which on multiplication by itself, gives the

original number. The square root is an inverse method of squaring a number. Hence,
squares and square roots are related concepts.

Suppose x is the square root of y, then it is represented as x=√y, or we can

express the same equation as x2 = y. Here, ‘√’ is the radical symbol used to
represent the root of numbers. The positive number, when multiplied by itself,
represents the square of the number. The square root of the square of a positive
number gives the original number.

For example, the square of 3 is 9, 32 = 9 and the square root of 9, √9 = 3. Since 9

is a perfect square, hence it is easy to find the square root. But for an imperfect
square like 3, 7, 5, etc., we have to use different methods to find the square
root. Learn square roots from 1 to 25 with some shortcut tricks here.
