Question

find the square root.
\sqrt{100} = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square root definition

The square root of a number \( x \) is a value \( y \) such that \( y^2 = x \). We need to find \( y \) where \( y^2 = 100 \).

Step2: Identify number with square 100

We know that \( 10\times10 = 100 \) (or \( (- 10)\times(-10)=100 \), but for the principal square root, we take the non - negative one). So \( \sqrt{100}=10 \).

Answer:

\( 10 \)
