ok this may seem like a silly question.. but why doesn't this work?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
    double x;
    
    printf("Find the square root of: ");
    scanf("%f", &x);
    
    double i = sqrt(x);
    
    printf("%f", i);
    return(0);
}

This is what it displays when i input 9:

Code:

Find the square root of: 9
0.000000
