    Explain the relationship between "squaring" a number and finding the "square root" of a number. Use an example to further explain your answer.

    Squaring a number means raising it to the power of 2
    The square root of a number undoes a square of a number.

    So square root of x^2 is x
    x squared is x^2

    Let x = 5.
    x squared = 5^2 = 25
    Square root of 25 = square root of 5^2 = 5
