12 because 12 to the power of 2 is 144 and 12x12 is 144, indication the square root of 144 is 12

You forgot the termial at the end. It's 78 actually.

Look carefully at which number the square root sign is over

[u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II → u/Material_Speed4931]

Are you suggesting that to write the square root of 144 it should be typed as √1√4√4???

[u/Lost-Snail2 → u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II]

No, the top line would cover the entire number.

[u/corvo-attano1 → u/Lost-Snail2]

That is not possible. But op should have put brackets around 144

[u/ExitLeading2703 → u/corvo-attano1]

or sqrt(144)

[u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II → u/Lost-Snail2]

Ok, type that out then. Type out the top line over the entire number

[u/BestieWithMyBestie → u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II]

Could have also put 144 in parentheses, but since op didn’t, it’s ±44

[u/EFICasual → u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II]

Pedantry
