Question 11107: My question is about square roots and cubic roots, the question is as follows:
If you found the square root and cubic root of 100, which would be greater? I say the square root of 100 is 10 and there is no cubic root for 100, and the other part is will it be greater? I say no, but I really do not understand why or why not. Thanks for the help in advance!

Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well Chelsey, you are right on the square root of 100 being 10.
But you can also find the cube root of 100 using your calculator.
The cube root of 100 = 4.64158883361... In this number, the decimal part of the number never repeats and never ends. It is what we call an irrational number.
As you can see, the square root of 100 (10) is larger than the cube root of 100 (4.641...)
And hang in there, 8th grade will end soon enough so you should learn all you can now, because you'll really need it when you get into high school.
