Question

what number is equal to \\(\sqrt{100}\\)?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square root definition

The square root of a number \( x \), denoted \( \sqrt{x} \), is a number \( y \) such that \( y^2 = x \).

Step2: Find \( y \) for \( x = 100 \)

We need to find \( y \) where \( y^2 = 100 \). Testing numbers: \( 10^2 = 10 \times 10 = 100 \), so \( \sqrt{100} = 10 \). But since the options given (1,2,3,4,5) don't have 10, maybe there's a mis - display? Wait, maybe the original problem's options were mis - captured. But if we consider the calculation, \( \sqrt{100}=10 \). However, if we assume that maybe the problem was \( \sqrt{10} \) (but no, the text says 100). Wait, perhaps the user made a mistake in the options. But following the calculation, \( \sqrt{100} = 10 \). But since the options provided are 1,2,3,4,5, maybe there's a typo. But strictly following the math, the square root of 100 is 10.

Answer:

10 (Note: If we consider the given options are incorrect, but mathematically \( \sqrt{100}=10 \))
