what is the square root of 44, 24, 68, and 144? What defines a square? What the difference between a polygon and a rectangle? actually i lied this is the real question in the attachment below

It appears that there's a misunderstanding because I cannot view or access attachments. However, I'll answer the initial questions you asked about square roots and squares vs. polygons and rectangles.

Answer: The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. The square roots of the numbers you provided are:

- The square root of 44 is an irrational number, approximately 6.633. - The square root of 24 is also an irrational number, approximately 4.899. - The square root of 68 is another irrational number, approximately 8.246. - The square root of 144 is 12, which is a rational number.

In geometry, a square is defined as a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length and all four angles equal to 90 degrees.

Now, to address the difference between polygons and rectangles: a polygon is a 2-dimensional geometric figure with at least three straight sides and angles, typically more. Examples of polygons include triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, etc. A rectangle is a specific type of polygon that has four sides, where opposite sides are equal in length and each of the four angles is 90 degrees.
