Basic multiplication fact. What do you find on the multiplication table? Look at the main diagonal and you will see the number multiplied by itself. The reason, "square" is used is because this is the way to find area for a square. A figure with one dimension at right angle to the other dimension and both dimensions are the same size, is SQUARE.

If you take 36 squares, and arrange them on a flat surface to form the shape of a larger square, the HOW MANY OF THESE SMALL SQUARES ARE ON EACH SIDE OF THE LARGER SQUARE COMPOSED OF THESE 36 SQUARE PIECES? The answer is 6.

With that example, you have a row of 6 squares arranged in 6 columns and altogether they are 36 pieces. See the basic fact, . THAT is squaring.

What you want to answer is, What is the number n, so that ? You are asking for the square root of 36. The square root of 36 is 6.
