Question

1. in the equation $sqrt{100} = 10$, is 10 the square or the square root?

Explanation:

A square root of a number \(x\) is a value \(y\) such that \(y^2 = x\). Here, \(10^2 = 100\), so 10 satisfies the definition of a square root of 100. The square of 10 would be 100, not 10 itself.

Answer:

10 is the square root.
