The square root of a number is just the number which when multiplied by itself gives the first number. So 2 is the square root of 4 because 2 * 2 = 4.

No number multiplied by itself is going to be 27. Which means that you are going to get a decimal. According to my calculations it would be 5.196152422706632.

1.) There is a special way of figuring any sq. rt. with paper and pencil that I learned in high school that looks like a variation of long division (do the schools even teach that now?)It gives the same answer as ...

2.) Using a calculator for a decimal answer heading toward infinite number of decimal places ...

or break it down into factors, locate any factors that ARE perfect squares, reduce them, and recombine them ...
example: sq. rt. of 1800
factors: 100 (perf. sq.) x 9 (perf. sq.) x 2 =
10² x 3² x 2
and the sq. rt of the final equality would be ...
10 x 3 x √2 = 30√2

(read as 'thirty onto the square root of two' OR 'thirty times the square root of two')

SO √27 wold factor into √9 x √3 = 3√3

*** Note *** I hope that the ascii characters came through. And I'm sure that there are more elegant methods of saying this. It's been a while since I've done this.

5.1961524227066318805823390245176, or 3 * SQRT(3)

the cloest thing is 5.2 which equals 27.04 so it would probably be 5.18 or somethin around there

im not sure im horrible at math so far I got a d in math
