Abstract: A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of two equal integer, hence the square root of a perfect square gives two equal integers.
In this study, we introduce a new method for finding the square root of a 2x2 matrix using one of the property of determinant that states that if a matrix C is obtained from a matrix A by multiplying it with matrix B of the same order, the determinant of C is the product of the determinants of A and B.
That is if we have a matrix C such that A.B = C, then the above statement can be written as;
∆C = ∆A . ∆B
But in this case ∆A = ∆B, so ∆C = ∆A2.
Keywords: square root, perfect square, method.
