You need to get rid of negative sign you may use i^2 which is =-1
so your problem is sq root of 200 and use i with your answer
write 200 and mark two digits from right
200 is written as

{ 2{00
now think what nowhich multiplied by it self is less than 2 answer is 1
1{2 00}
1
-
100 (we subtracted, got one and brought down 00 together
now we had 1 as divisor and 1 as quotient we add it becomes 2
24 [ 100
96
--
4 we need to go in decimal we bring down 00
28{400 28 because we added 4 to 24
281 28 and what digit which multiplied by itself is less than 400 answer is 1
our total answer is 14.1something
very confusing if you can not write properly

do not forget your i answer is 14.1i
