Calculating square roots

[Larry]

using Word's Calculation feature, if I want to get the square of 4, I
do:

4^2 = 16.00

How do I get the square root of 16?

Larry,

Try 16^.5

 

[Larry]

Greg,

Thanks much.

Or, like this, to get cube root:

8^(1/3)

Larry,

Yeah, now we're learnin'
4^-2= 0.0625

4^(-1/2)= 0.5
