Step 1 :The square root property states that if \(x^{2} = a\), then \(x\) is equal to \(\sqrt{a}\) or \(-\sqrt{a}\).
Step 2 :Applying square root property to the given equation \(x^{2}=16\), we get \(x\) equal to \(\sqrt{16}\) or \(-\sqrt{16}\).
Step 3 :The square root of \(16\) is \(4\), so the solutions to the equation are \(x = 4\) or \(x = -4\).
