<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 16/100 is a<a>perfect square</a><a>fraction</a>. The square root of 16/100 can be expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In radical form, it is expressed as √(16/100), whereas in exponential form, it is expressed as (16/100)^(1/2). √(16/100) = √(4/10) = 2/10 = 0.2, which is a<a>rational number</a>because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.</p>
