Staff Review
This lesson is all about square roots and computing their values. Also, some square roots are added and subtracted, as well as multiplied by integers. Perfect squares and finding their values are also discussed, and the Pythagorean Theorem is used to solve some problems. This is a great place to start for introducing square roots. -
