Answer:

T and F

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! Maybe I am reading it wrong, but only 2 statements are given. The answer to these statements are true and false.

"A square root of 16 is 4."

[tex]4^{2} =16[/tex]

4 squared, or 4 * 4 is equal to 16, and therefore this is true.

"The only square root of 9 is -3."

This is false. 9 has 2 square roots: 3 and -3.

[tex]3^{2} =9\\-3^{2} =9[/tex]

3 * 3 = 9, and so does (-3) * (-3).

So we have T and F, which eliminates the second, third, and fourth choices, which means even without a last statement, A is your correct answer.

Hope I helped! :)
