When dealing with square roots in a equation, PEMDAS calls for this to be solved when you do B. Exponents

The root of a number is that number expressed exponentially by the root in inverted form. In other words, when you take something to its square root, you would be taking it to the inverse of 2 which is 1/2.

For instance:

√4 = 2 = 4¹/²

This means that you can then solve the square root when you deal with exponents which is the second step.

In conclusion, if you see an expression with square roots, PEMDAS allows you to solve it as an exponent.
