00:00 Solve

00:04 The square root of any number (X) squared, root cancels square

00:13 We'll break down 169 to 13 squared

00:17 We'll use this formula in our exercise

00:21 And this is the solution to the question

To solve for the square root of 169, we need to determine which whole number, when multiplied by itself, equals 169.

Step 1: Recall that squaring a number means multiplying the number by itself. Therefore, we need to find a number $n$ such that $n \times n = 169$ .
Step 2: Check known square values or perform some calculations: $13 \times 13 = 169$ .
Step 3: Verify that $13^2 = 169$ , confirming that 13 is the square root.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\sqrt{169} = 13$ .
