Question

Find all square roots of the number or write no square roots. Check the results by squaring each root. $$144$$

Short answer

The square roots of 144 are 12 and -12.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the number to find its square roots

The number provided in the exercise is 144.

Calculate the Square Roots

To find the square roots of this given number, it is needed to calculate the positive and the negative square roots separately. \nFor positive root, \(\sqrt{144}=12\) and, for the negative root, \(-\sqrt{144}=-12\). Thus the square roots of 144 are 12 and -12.

Verification

Check the results by squaring each root. Indeed, \(12^2=144\) and \((-12)^2=144\). Hence, both roots are indeed the square roots of 144.
