<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of a<a>number</a>. Since -300 is a<a>negative number</a>, its square root is not a<a>real number</a>. The square root of -300 is expressed in<a>terms</a>of an<a>imaginary number</a>. In radical form, it is expressed as √-300, which can be written as √300 * i, where i is the imaginary unit (i = √-1). Therefore, the square root of -300 is 10√3 * i.</p>

<p>The imaginary unit method is used to express the square root of a negative number. Here's how we proceed with -300:</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Express the negative number as a positive number multiplied by -1. -300 = 300 * (-1)</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Express the negative number as a positive number multiplied by -1. -300 = 300 * (-1)</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Take the square root of both components separately: √-300 = √300 * √(-1) = √300 * i</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Take the square root of both components separately: √-300 = √300 * √(-1) = √300 * i</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Simplify √300 using<a>prime factorization</a>: 300 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 2^2 * 3 * 5^2</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Simplify √300 using<a>prime factorization</a>: 300 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 2^2 * 3 * 5^2</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Taking the square root: √300 = √(2^2 * 3 * 5^2) = 2 * 5 * √3 = 10√3</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Taking the square root: √300 = √(2^2 * 3 * 5^2) = 2 * 5 * √3 = 10√3</p>
14
<p>Therefore, the square root of -300 is 10√3 * i.</p>

<p>To verify the square root, we multiply the result by itself: (10√3 * i) * (10√3 * i) = (10^2 * 3) * (i^2) = 300 * (-1) = -300 This confirms that (10√3 * i) is indeed the square root of -300.</p>

<p>The area of a square = side².</p>
32
<p>The side length is given as √(-144) = 12i.</p>
31
<p>The side length is given as √(-144) = 12i.</p>
33
<p>Area = (12i)² = 144i² = 144(-1) = -144.</p>
32
<p>Area = (12i)² = 144i² = 144(-1) = -144.</p>
34
<p>Therefore, the area is expressed as 144i square units due to the imaginary component.</p>
