00:03Square root of any number (X) squared, root cancels square
00:10We break down 49 to 7 squared
00:16We'll use this formula in our exercise
00:19Root and square cancel each other
00:21And this is the solution to the question
Step-by-Step Solution
To solve this problem, we follow these steps:
Step 1: Understand that finding the square root of a number means determining what number, when multiplied by itself, equals the original number.
Step 2: Identify the numbers that could potentially be the square root of 49. These are ±7, but by convention, the square root function typically refers to the non-negative root.
Step 3: Calculate 7×7=49. This confirms that 49=7.
Step 4: Verify using the problem's multiple-choice answers to ensure 7 is among them, confirming choice number .
