Answer 1

what have you tried?

Answer 2

a good strategy is to see if 96 is divisible by a perfect square like; 4,9,25,36,etc

Answer 3

or start dividing it by familiar numbers and see what pops up

Answer 4

96=12 x 8
square root of 12 = \[\sqrt{2\times2\times3}\]
So it will be \[2\sqrt{3}\]
And for 8,
\[\sqrt{2\times2\times2}\]
So It is \[2\sqrt{2}\]
Multiplying both,
\[2\times2 \sqrt{2\times3}\]
\[4\sqrt{6}\] is the answer.
