The two square roots of 16 are 4 and -4.

The two square roots of 16 are 4 and -4. This is because when we square both 4 and -4, we get 16. To illustrate, 4² = (4)(4) = 16 and (-4)² = (-4)(-4) = 16. The squaring a number refers to multiplying it by itself and that the square of a negative number is positive, there are two square roots of a positive number like 16.
