Square Roots

Did you know how to solve yesterday’s problems about square roots?  In my ASVAB prep course, one of the subtopics for Mathematics Knowledge is squares and square roots as well as cubes and cube roots.  When I tutor for the ASVAB, I remind my students to memories the perfect squares up to 144 (12 x 12).   Knowing the perfect squares will help to improve their ASVAB math scores.  So make sure you know your times tables instantly.  Study squares and square roots.  Learn cubes and cube roots too.

To answer yesterday’s question:

What is the difference of the square root of 144 and the square root of 25?

The square root of 144 is 12.

The square root of 25 is 5.

The difference between the 2 is 12-5 = 7.
