#2sqrt3+2i#

#z=16(cos60^0+isin60^0)#

#sqrtz=z^(1/2)=sqrt(16(cos60^0+isin60^0)#

#z^(1/2)=4(cos60+isin60)^(1/2)#

now using DeMoivre's theorem

#(costheta+isintheta)^n=cosntheta+isinntheta, AA n in RR#

#z^(1/2)=4(cos(60/2)+isin(60/2))#

#z^(1/2)=4(cos30^0+isin30^0)#

#z^(1/2)=4(sqrt3/2+i1/2)#

#z^(1/2)=2sqrt3+2i#
