<p>The<a>square</a>root<a>of</a>225 is ±15, where 15 is the positive solution of the<a>equation</a>x2 = 225. Finding the square root is just the inverse of squaring a<a>number</a>and hence, squaring 15 will result in 225. The square root of 225 is written as √225 in radical form, where the ‘√’ sign is called the “radical” sign. In<a>exponential form</a>, it is written as (225)1/2 </p>
