Example Question #1 : How To Find The Square Root

\dpi{100} (4+2)^{2}=\displaystyle \dpi{100} (4+2)^{2}=

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 6\displaystyle \dpi{100} 6

\dpi{100} 16\displaystyle \dpi{100} 16

\dpi{100} 4\displaystyle \dpi{100} 4

\dpi{100} 36\displaystyle \dpi{100} 36

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 36\displaystyle \dpi{100} 36

Explanation:

Follow PEMDAS for order of operations.  First, we add the numbers inside the parentheses.

\dpi{100} 4+2=6\displaystyle \dpi{100} 4+2=6

Then we take \dpi{100} 6^{2}=36\displaystyle \dpi{100} 6^{2}=36.

Example Question #2 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

\displaystyle 13.25 < \sqrt{x} < 13.5

Which of the following is a possible value for \displaystyle x?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 183

\displaystyle 169

\displaystyle 175

\displaystyle 185

None of the other answers are correct.

Correct answer:

None of the other answers are correct.

Explanation:

\displaystyle 13.25 < \sqrt{x} < 13.5

We can find more information on the value of \displaystyle x by squaring all of our terms to remove the square root.

\displaystyle 13.25^{2} < \left (\sqrt{x} \right )^{2}< 13.5^{2}

\displaystyle 175.5625< x< 182.25

Now we have a range of values for \displaystyle x, however, none of these choices fall in this range.

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Square Root

Evaluate: \displaystyle \sqrt{81} + \sqrt{25 } + \sqrt{36}

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 16

\displaystyle 18

\displaystyle 20

\displaystyle 17

\displaystyle 22

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 20

Explanation:

Find the individual square roots and add them.

\displaystyle \sqrt{81} = 9

\displaystyle \sqrt{25 } = 5

\displaystyle \sqrt{36} = 6

\displaystyle \sqrt{81} + \sqrt{25 } + \sqrt{36} = 9 + 5 + 6 = 20

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Square Root

What is the product of the square root of twice eighteen and four less than ten?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 36

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 54

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 60

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 36

Explanation:

\displaystyle \sqrt{2*18} *(10-4)

\displaystyle \sqrt{36} *6

\displaystyle 6*6=36

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Square Root

\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{25}} \sqrt{4}  =

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 8

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 4

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 4

Explanation:

First find the square root for each number. Then solve accordingly.

\displaystyle \frac{3+5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4

The answer is 4.

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Square Root

\displaystyle \sqrt{25} + \sqrt{64} + \sqrt{16} =

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 3

\displaystyle 17

\displaystyle 13

\displaystyle 25

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 17

Explanation:

First, find the square root of each number, then add.

\displaystyle 5 + 8 + 4=

\displaystyle 17

 

The answer is 17.

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Square Root

\displaystyle 3\sqrt{49} + \sqrt{144} =

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 252

\displaystyle 22

\displaystyle 33

\displaystyle 333

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 33

Explanation:

First, find the square roots of the numbers:

\displaystyle \sqrt{49} = 7

\displaystyle \sqrt{144}=12

Then, solve the equation using order of operations:

\displaystyle 3\left ( 7 \right ) + 12=

\displaystyle 21 + 12 = 33

The answer is \displaystyle 33.

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Square Root

\displaystyle 4\left ( \sqrt{4} * \sqrt{9} \right )=

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 52

\displaystyle 20

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 17

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 24

Explanation:

First, find the square root for each:

\displaystyle \sqrt{4}=2

\displaystyle \sqrt{9}=3

Then insert these into the equation and solve:

\displaystyle 4 \left ( 2*3 \right )=

\displaystyle 4*6=24

 

The answer is \displaystyle 24.

Example Question #4 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

\displaystyle \frac{12\sqrt{121}}{\sqrt{16}}=

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 42

\displaystyle 8

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 33

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 33

Explanation:

First, find the square root for each number:

\displaystyle \sqrt{121} = 11

\displaystyle \sqrt{16}=4

Then, insert these square roots into the equation and solve accordingly:

\displaystyle \frac{12\left ( 11 \right )}{4} =

\displaystyle \frac{132}{4}=33

The answer is 33.

 

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Square Root

\displaystyle \sqrt{81}*\sqrt{25}*\sqrt{49}=

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 155

\displaystyle 52

\displaystyle 21

\displaystyle 315

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 315

Explanation:

First, find the square root of each number:

\displaystyle \sqrt{81 } = 9

\displaystyle \sqrt{25}=5

\displaystyle \sqrt{49}=7

Solve the equation accordingly:

\displaystyle 9*5*7=315
