how to type square root symbol
Hi Niah. I'm struggling a bit with typing the square root symbol on my computer. Can you help me out?
Of course! You have different ways to do this depending on the program you are using. Are you trying to type the square root symbol in a particular application?
I'm mainly using it in Microsoft Word and Excel for my math assignments. Could you guide me on how to do it in these programs?
Certainly! In Microsoft Word, go to the 'Insert' tab, then click on 'Symbol', and in the dropdown list, select 'More Symbols'. In the symbol window, select 'Mathematical Operators', you should find the square root symbol there. In Excel, unfortunately, there's no direct way to insert symbols but you can use a workaround by copy pasting the square root symbol from Word or by using the formula '=SQRT(number)' where 'number' is the one you want to get the square root of.
That's really handy, thanks! What about if I need to do this on my mobile keyboard? Is there a square root symbol there too?
The availability of the square root symbol on mobile keyboards depends on the phone's operating system or the keyboard application you're using. However, an alternate solution is to copy the square root symbol from a webpage and simply paste it where needed.
