A sample question with the answer

1. What is the square root of 7056?

Answer: D) 84

Bracket the root with squares you know: 80² = 6400 < 7056 < 8100 = 90², so it is 8-something. A square ending in 6 comes from a root ending in 4 or 6; 84² = 7056 (85² = 7225 would be the middle check: 7056 is below it, so pick the smaller, 84). Bracket, then use the last digit.
