It is a handy tool for finding the value that, when multiplied by itself, equals the input number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>=SQRT(number)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>number<\/strong><\/td><td>The number for which you want to find the square root.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SQRT function in Excel is straightforward to use. You need to provide a single argument, which is the number for which you want to find the square root. Here&#8217;s how you can use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SQRT(A1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the square root of the number in cell A1. Remember to replace &#8220;A1&#8221; with the cell reference containing your desired number. You can also use a specific value instead of a cell reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s go through a few examples to see how the SQRT function works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Find the square root of 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SQRT(25)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The result will be 5 because 5 multiplied by itself equals 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> Calculate the square root of a value in cell B2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SQRT(B2)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If the value in cell B2 is, for instance, 16, the formula will return 4 as the square root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> You can also use the SQRT function in more complex calculations. For instance, if you want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the lengths of its two sides (A and B), you can use the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SQRT(A1^2 + B1^2)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will find the square root of the sum of the squares of A1 and B1, which gives you the length of the hypotenuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SQRT function is a fundamental mathematical operation in Excel, useful for various applications, including engineering, physics, statistics, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that if the argument you provide is a negative number, Excel will return a #NUM! error, as the square root of a negative number is not a real number. In such cases, you may want to use the ABS function to ensure you&#8217;re working with positive numbers before applying the SQRT function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Excel SQRT function is a mathematical function used to calculate the square root of a given number.
