Square roots are another word for exponents with a 2 (Example: 3 to the 2nd power). Now what makes square roots, square roots? That's what we're going to find out.
In my opinion, square roots are the easiest exponents. All you have to do is just multiply the same number together. So if the problem is 3 to the 2nd power, then all you have to do is multiply 3 times 3, which equals 9. I think square roots are called square roots because when you do the math, it's similar to finding an area of a square. A square has four equal sides, so if two sides of a square is four, then that means that all sides of the square is four. So when you multiply 4 x 4, which equals 16, then the shortened version is 4 to the 2nd power.
A possible name for a square root is "double time." I chose that because since 4 to the 2nd power means 4 x 4, then it basically is a double being multiplied. It's not the best name, but it is a possible name.
Square roots are very easy to figure out if you know exponents well. If you keep on working on exponents, then you can probably figure out more than square roots!
