Steps to Solve

Steps to Solve the Problem

  1. Identify the square root operation

    We need to find a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the result 58. This means finding $ \sqrt{58} $.

  2. Approximate the square root, if necessary

    Since 58 is not a perfect square, we can use a calculator for an accurate result. Approximating manually, we know that $ \sqrt{49} = 7 $ and $ \sqrt{64} = 8 $, so $ \sqrt{58} $ should be between 7 and 8.

  3. Use a calculator for precision

    Using a calculator, we find that:

    $$ \sqrt{58} \approx 7.6158 $$

The square root of 58 is approximately 7.6158
