What is the square root of 144?

  1. 12

  2. 24

  3. 40

  4. 48

The correct answer is: 12

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. The square root of 144 is 12 because 12 multiplied by 12 equals 144. Option B, 24, is not the correct square root as it is the multiplied product of 12 and 2, which does not give the original number. Option C, 40, and D, 48, are also not the correct square roots as neither multiplied by themselves equals 144. It is important to remember that when finding the square root of a number, the answer should be a single value and not a product of multiple numbers.
