Notes• The root of a square (square root) is equal
to the length of one side of the square• All squares have two roots, one positive
and one negative• Perfect squares have integers for roots• A Radical is the symbol we use to identify
roots• A Radicand is the number or variable
inside the radical 25

• Squares that do not have an integer for a base are called non-perfect squares. For example is a non-perfect square because no integer multiplied by itself equals 20.
• We estimate non-perfect squares by finding which perfect squares they are between:
