Explanation:

It can help to write the number in scientific notation:

0.0004=4104

The square root of a product is the product of the square roots:

4104=4104

Now, 4 is easily 2. As for the exponential part, taking the square root is the same as giving exponent 12:

104=(104)12

Now use the property (ab)c=abc to get

(104)12=1042=102

So, the answer is 2102, or if you prefer 0.02
