Lesson 5: Square root. Percent
In this lesson we are discussing two topics: square root of a number and percent.
A square root of a number is a number that has been squared to get the number under the square root.
For example, the √4 is 2, because 2 x 2 = 4.
Watch the video lesson to see the examples and learn why we cannot take a square root of a negative number.
We have already discussed the concept of percent in our previous lessons. However, since it is a very commonly used concept, we will go over it again in more detail.
In this lesson you will learn the general formula for finding the percent of a number. You will see how to use proportions in order to calculate percent.
Together, we will go over some real life problems with percentages.
