Default Math problem (simple but hard)

Using the numbers 2, 4, 4, 6, and 6, make the number 55.

RULES

1) You can multiply, divide, add, subtract, square, square root. However, in order to square root a number, you need a 2. Likewise, to cube root a number, you need a 3.

2) You can only use each number once, and cannot do something to the zero power unless you have previously gotten a zero with other numbers.

3) Also, you cannot combine numbers into bigger numbers. (Example (44+66) /2.) Otherwise, you can do anything.
