What is the square root of 144?

In teaching my ASVAB prep course, I remind my students of the importance of knowing how to work with squares, square roots, cubes, and cube roots.  In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide, I included 15 subtopics for review.  One of the subtopics is squares and cubes.  It is important to know the square roots for the perfect squares up to 144.

Do you know how to figure out the square root of 144?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
