How do you find the square root of 36/49?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

#sqrt(36/49)=color(green)(6/7)#

In general #color(white)("XXX")sqrt(a/b)=sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)#

#sqrt(36)=6#

#sqrt(49)=7#

So #color(white)("XXX")sqrt(36/49)=sqrt(36)/sqrt(49)=6/7#

Answer is: #+- 6/7#, see explanation for steps.

#+- 6/7#

The reason we include the #+-# symbol in your answers is because the square root of a positive number always has a positive and negative answer. For instance, multiplying #6# by itself yields #36#, and multiplying #-6# by itself yields #36# as well. This indicates that a number can be either positive or negative.
