How to find the square root of a number in steps:
- You find the two whole numbers that you can times by themselves that your number is in between. For this example it’s 10 and 11 because 10*10=100 11*11=121
- So you know that the square root of 108 must be in between 10 and 11 because 108 is in between 100 and 121.
- Now it will be easier if you find the middle number of 100 and 121. Which is 10.5.
- So then you times 10.5 by 10.5 and see what the answer is. Which is 110.25
- So then you know that the square root of 108 is less than 10.5. And you know it’s more than 10 so you guess a number then you try it.
- So we’re going to try 10.4. 10.4*10.4 is about 108
