Answer:
Euclid could find the square root of a line segment AB by extended the segment to the segment ABC such that BC was of unit length. Then construct a circle with AC as a diameter, then construct a line BD perpendicular to AC, crossing the circle at D. Then the length BD is the square root of AB. This method is exact, assuming that the constructions involved are exact.
