The problem states: "Whole square of a zero by 4 by 3 is equal to 5".
This can be translated into an equation. "Whole square" implies squaring the entire expression. "a zero by 4 by 3" can be interpreted as a variable, let's call it 'x', multiplied by 4 and then by 3. So, the expression inside the square is 4 × 3 × x, which simplifies to 12x.

  1. Write the equation based on the problem statement.

    (12x)² = 5

  2. Expand the squared term.

    144x² = 5

  3. Isolate x².

    x² = (5)/(144)

  4. Solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.

    Remember that a square root can have both a positive and a negative result.
    x = ±√((5)/(144))

  5. Simplify the square root.

    x = ±(√5)/(√144)
    x = ±(√5)/(12)

    The solutions are x = (√5)/(12) and x = -(√5)/(12).

    The values of x are ±(√5)/(12).
