What square root equals 800?

What square root equals 800? In other words, what number would you take the square root of to get 800? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:

√x = 800

To solve the √x = 800 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 2 to eliminate the square root:

(√x)² = 800²
x = 800²

Then, we calculate 800² to get the following answer:

800² = 800 × 800
800² = 640,000

√640,000 = 800
