Kristopher Rich · Answer 1

You need to find a number which multiplies by itself to make 16:

1 x 1 = 1

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

So the answer is 4 since when it is multiplied by 4 it makes 16

This means that the square root of 16 is 4

Every positive number has two square roots. The square roots of 16 are 4 and - 4.
