Using the Square and Square Root Symbols in a Formula

In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb “to square” is used to denote this operation. Squaring is the same as raising to the power 2, and is denoted by a superscript 2; for instance, the square of 3 may be written as 3², which is the number 9.

The square root is a number which produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself. “7 is the square root of 49”. It is written √49 = 7.

Below are some additional examples of how the squared and square root formulas are written.

5 Squared = 5² = 5×5 = 25
25 Squared = 25² = 25×25 = 625
Square Root of 25 = √25 = 5
Square Root of 625 = √625 = 25
