Problem
Solve the equation by the square root property. \[ x^{2}=196 \]
Solution
Step 1 ：Solve the equation by the square root property: \(x^{2}=196\).
Step 2 ：The square root property states that if \(x^{2}=a\), then \(x=\sqrt{a}\) or \(x=-\sqrt{a}\). In this case, \(a=196\).
Step 3 ：So, we need to find the square root of 196.
Step 4 ：The square root of 196 is 14, so the solutions to the equation are \(x=14\) and \(x=-14\).
Step 5 ：Final Answer: The solutions to the equation \(x^{2}=196\) are \(x=\boxed{14}\) and \(x=\boxed{-14}\).
