Explain why the square root of a number is defined to be
equal to that number to the 1/2 power?

the inverse operation to the power of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
