If "a" squared =130,680 how do I find "a"?

Question

The answer is welcome, but I need to know how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

You should use a calculator for this. Put the number in the calculator, and hit the square root button, or put in the number raised to the .5 power.

You should get around 361.5

Answer 2

Just reverse the operation. If A squared = 130,680, then A = square root of 130,680. Using a calculator, I got 361.497 (rounded off to three decimal places).

Answer 3

you need to do a square root. what is bothering you is the power and you need to leave a alone so that you have the answer. To do that you need to move your power to the other side of the = sign so you'll get a= square root of 130680, which is the final answer

Answer 4

Do a factor tree

13068 and 10
6534 and (2) (2) and (5)
3267 and (2)
1089 and (3)
363 and (3)
121 and (3)
(11) and (11)

So 130680 = 2x2x2x3x3x3x5x11x11



So the sqrt is 2x3x11xsqrt(2x3x5)

Answer 5

if you mean a^2=130,680
then you have to find the square root of both sides
which will give you a
which should be 361.496888 or 66(square root)30
