Math sqrt is static method that returns number which is square root of input value. The method works only on positive real numbers.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
console.log( Math.sqrt( 4 ) ); // 2
console.log( Math.sqrt( 9 ) ); // 3
console.log( Math.sqrt( 2 ) ); // 1.4142135623730951
console.log( Math.sqrt( 0.5 ) ); // 0.7071067811865476
console.log( Math.sqrt( 0 ) ); // 0
console.log( Math.sqrt( -1 ) ); // NaN1. Documentation

2. Square root with Math.pow method examples
In this example the way how to calculate square root using power function is presented.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
function calculateSqrt(value) {
return Math.pow(value, 0.5);
}
// Examples:
console.log( calculateSqrt( 4 ) ); // 2
console.log( calculateSqrt( 9 ) ); // 3
console.log( calculateSqrt( 2 ) ); // 1.4142135623730951
console.log( calculateSqrt( 0.5 ) ); // 0.7071067811865476
console.log( calculateSqrt( 0 ) ); // 0
console.log( calculateSqrt( -1 ) ); // NaN
