How do you model the square root of 16?

16 ​ = 4 ∗ 4 ​ = 4 ​ ∗ 4 ​ = 2 ∗ 2 = 4

Draw 16 squares, made into a bigger square. (It will basically be a grid with 16 boxes). Notice that the length of each side of the square is 4 squares. Side 1 (4 squares) x side 2 (also 4 squares) = 16 (in other words, 4 "squared") Hope that makes sense.. Let me know if not!

The square root of 16 is 4, which is the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals 16. This can be verified by factoring 16 as 4 × 4 and realizing that 16 ​ = 4 × 4 ​ = 4 ​ × 4 ​ = 2 × 2 = 4 . Thus, the square root of 16 results in 4.
