Abstract

The article offers tips on how to construct the square root of a complex number using the Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP). One tip refers to constructing the square root of a positive real number and mentions the geometric principles underlying the construction. Another is the application of the approach to the complex numbers. Moreover, several figures are presented depicting the solution process of the problem.
