A square root of a number is a number that has been squared to get the number under the square root.

For example, the √4 is 2, because 2 x 2 = 4.

Watch the video lesson to see the examples and learn why we cannot take a square root of a negative number.

We have already discussed the concept of percent in our previous lessons. However, since it is a very commonly used concept, we will go over it again in more detail.

In this lesson you will learn the general formula for finding the percent of a number. You will see how to use proportions in order to calculate percent.
