Why are square roots called square roots? They are called that because a perfect square is perfect and 16 is a perfect square. Meaning that if you put 16 on all sides of a square the square would be cut in half it would be perfect triangles. The triangles would come out to be 4 on all sides. If you can put the # on a square and that square is a perfect and you can cut that square in half, and what you get is perfect triangles.
  What may be another name for square roots? Another name for square roots would be perfect square. That would be because they have two numbers that go are times by itself to become that number. Like a 144 is one because 12 times 12 is 144.
