Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 0.06

Explanation:

Problem restatementEvaluate √√√(0.000216).

Concept/ApproachUse the property √√√(a × 10k) = √√√(a) × 10k/3. Recognize 0.000216 = 216 × 10−6.

Step-by-step calculation√√√(0.000216) = √√√(216) × √√√(10−6)= 6 × 10−2 = 0.06

Verification/Alternative(0.06)3 = 0.000216, confirming the result.

Common pitfallsTaking cube root of the exponent incorrectly (e.g., using 10−3 instead of 10−2).
