It's strange that it never occured to me that the square root also can be used to calculate the sides of a square.
That's because in Dutch we just call it 'root' (wortel).
I really wish teachers used more graphic forms in math because it helps to understand what kind of problems it can solve.
- madcaptenor 9y agoSo what do you call the cube root?
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoIsn't wortel a short form ? (I do not speak Dutch). I am asking because in France we have the official term racine carrée (square root), abbreviated to racine (root) when the "square" is implied.
