Question

what is the value of \\(\sqrt{144}\\)? 10 36 12 72

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the square root definition

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

Step2: Find a number whose square is 144

We know that \( 12\times12 = 144 \), which can be written as \( 12^2 = 144 \). So, by the definition of square root, \( \sqrt{144}=12 \).

Answer:
