To confirm this, factor 1600 to see if it can be written as the square of a whole number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by simplifying:1600=16\u00d71001600 = 16 \\times 1001600=16\u00d7100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both 16 and 100 are perfect squares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>16=4\\sqrt{16} = 416\u200b=4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100=10\\sqrt{100} = 10100\u200b=10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now apply the square root to each factor:1600=16\u00d7100=16\u00d7100=4\u00d710=40\\sqrt{1600} = \\sqrt{16 \\times 100} = \\sqrt{16} \\times \\sqrt{100} = 4 \\times 10 = 401600\u200b=16\u00d7100\u200b=16\u200b\u00d7100\u200b=4\u00d710=40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus,1600=40\\sqrt{1600} = 401600\u200b=40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that 40 \u00d7 40 = 1600. When checking square roots, always multiply the result by itself to verify that it returns the original number:40\u00d740=160040 \\times 40 = 160040\u00d740=1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This confirms the answer is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Tip:<\/strong><br>To determine whether a number is a perfect square, factor it and look for repeated prime factors or break it into known square numbers.
