Question
How do I find the square root of 1152?
Hello Celeste,
Depends on what you are allowed to use.
If a calculator, then use the "square root" key.
If no calculator, then you could estimate it...
Since 34^2=1156, that tells us that sqrt(1152) is
just a bit less than 34. There is a way of doing
square roots by hand. Check these links for more
about it:
