What square root equals 101?

What square root equals 101? In other words, what number would you take the square root of to get 101? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:

√x = 101

To solve the √x = 101 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 2 to eliminate the square root:

(√x)² = 101²
x = 101²

Then, we calculate 101² to get the following answer:

101² = 101 × 101
101² = 10,201

√10,201 = 101
