What square root equals 4000? In other words, what number would you take the square root of to get 4000? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:

√x = 4000

To solve the √x = 4000 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 2 to eliminate the square root:

(√x)² = 4000²
x = 4000²

Then, we calculate 4000² to get the following answer:

4000² = 4000 × 4000
4000² = 16,000,000

√16,000,000 = 4000
