how do you know when to put an answer, as a square root or round it up to two decimal points? can you just pick whichever method you want to do?

It is always safest to leave it as a square root, unless specifically asked not to.

The answer to your question is almost obvious. Let's say the solution is the square root of 17? I hope you have a good calculator nearby. Leave it as is, in radical form unless asked to do otherwise.

If you are asked for an exact answer, leave it as a radical. If you are told to round to somany significant digits, do so. If your input data is only accurate to two decimal places, then your answer should assume the same accuracy.

if its a real life problem situation then make it a true number. if it is really just a math problem leave it as a simplified root.

I don't quite understand. Could you give us more, please?
