You can write powers with the "**" operator. In this case,
a ** 2

Because of the rules of operator precedence,
a / b + c / d
has the same meaning as the expression you gave.

Assuming that you've already executed
import math
Here are some ways to find the square root of a number:
math.sqrt(4)
4 ** .5
math.pow(4, .5)
