To find the square root, think of number that can be multiplied together to get to 144.
First, try 10 * 10. That equals 100, which is a too small.
Try something larger like 13! 13 * 13 = [tex]169[/tex], which is close, but not 144 exactly.
Let's try 12... 12 * 12 = 144. That works!
Thus, the square root of 144 is 12.
I hope that helps!
