Square Root of 40 Squared (√40^2)

Square Root of 40 Squared

Here we will discuss and calculate the square root of 40 squared. The problem in mathematical terms that we want to solve is displayed below:

√40²

We are doing two math operations: The radical sign √ means that you are taking the square root of 40 and the ² means to square 40. It does not matter which order you do the math operations in, because the following two math rules result in the same answer:

√x² = x

(√x)² = x

Based on those two rules, you can conclude that the answer to our problem is 40. Nevertheless, read on because we will show you different ways of calculating the square root of 40 squared to prove that the answer is 40.

We start by first taking the square root of 40 and then square that result to get our answer like this:

√40 = 6.3246

6.3246² = 40

Now, we will do the operations in opposite order where we first square 40 and then calculate the square root of the result:

40² = 1600

√1600 = 40

You may also find this math rule interesting when dealing with a problem like the square root of 40 squared:

√x² = √x · √x

It also proves that the square root of 40 squared equals 40.

√40² = √40 · √40

√40 · √40 = 6.3246 · 6.3246

6.3246 · 6.3246 = 40
