<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 1/3 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 1/3 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √(1/3), whereas (1/3)^(1/2) in the exponential form. The square root of 1/3 is approximately 0.57735, which is an<a>irrational number</a>because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are<a>integers</a>and q ≠ 0.</p>

<p>The area of the square = side^2.</p>
32
<p>The side length is given as √(1/6).</p>
31
<p>The side length is given as √(1/6).</p>
33
<p>Area of the square = (√(1/6))^2 = 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.</p>
32
<p>Area of the square = (√(1/6))^2 = 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.</p>
34
<p>Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 0.1667 square units.</p>

<p>To find the square root, first find (1/6 + 1/12).</p>
60
<p>1/6 + 1/12 = 2/12 + 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4.</p>

<p>1/6 + 1/12 = 2/12 + 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4.</p>
61
<p>The square root of 1/4 is 1/2 = 0.5.</p>
60
<p>The square root of 1/4 is 1/2 = 0.5.</p>
62
<p>Therefore, the square root of (1/6 + 1/12) is 0.5.</p>
