Worksheet Overview

When we find the square of an algebraic term, we simply multiply it by itself.

 

Thus the square of  3a4 is   3a4 x 3a4 = 9a8

 

Or,   (3a4)2 = 32 x a4x2 = 9a8

 

The reverse of squaring is finding the square root..

 

So,  √(9a8) = √9 x a8÷2 = 3a4

 

The steps we need to remember are:

1) √ the number

2) Halve the power.
