Q1, The answer is B. plus or minus the square root of 60

x ² = 60

x = ?

Since a² = - √a or a² = + √a, then

x = - √60 or

x = + √60

Q2. The answer is C. 2.83 inches

The area of the square (A) with side s is:

A = s ²

Since A = 8 in², then s² = 8 in²

s = √8 in²

s ≈ 2.828 in

s ≈ 2.83

Q3. The answer is D. plus or minus 11

x² = 121

x² = 11²

Since a² = - √a or a² = + √a, then

x = - √11² or x = + √11²

x = - 11 or x = + 11
