What square root equals 10000?

What square root equals 10000? In other words, what number would you take the square root of to get 10000? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:

√x = 10000

To solve the √x = 10000 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 2 to eliminate the square root:

(√x)² = 10000²
x = 10000²

Then, we calculate 10000² to get the following answer:

10000² = 10000 × 10000
10000² = 100,000,000

√100,000,000 = 10000

We've provided the equation above to help you understand the underlying concept of solving problems like this. In the future, remember that you can solve all similar problems by simply multiplying the number by itself.
