Do you mean you have trouble with simplifying them? For example, if you want to simplify

you just have to think of perfect squares. What do I mean? Well.......

For example... you know that the = 10 yes?
And you know that the = 5 yes?
The above 2 examples are examples of perfect squares. So let's go back to our problem.

When you have the what is inside that number "200" that is a perfect square? In other words, can you break down the number 200 into smaller numbers that would multiply together to equal 200?

What about the number 100?

Think of as Remember that the = 10, so just "pull" the 10 out of the square root sign and you have this: 10

Is this the type of problem you are having? How about if you post a problem or two and thennnnn you can get the step by step help you may need, k?
