Topic: Squares and Square Roots
Domain: Number

A square number is one that can be arranged into a square. Squaring multiplies a number by itself, and a square root undoes it.

Study Tip

Squaring is not doubling. And when finding a root by prime factors, pair them up: a factor left without a partner means the number is not a perfect square at all.
