Question

sqaure root of 39 simplified

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{39} =?\]

Answer 2

Prime factorize it....

Answer 3

39 = 3*13.....it can be further simplified......but u can find ita value

\[\sqrt{39}=6.24\]

Answer 4

calculating a numeric value of a square root isn't usually what they mean by "simplify".

Answer 5

the hyptenuse of a right triangle is 8cm. If one leg of the triangle is 5cm. Find the other leg. Simplify your answer. <<< this is the question

Answer 6

ok, great...

a^2 + b^c = c^2
5^2 + b^2 = 8^2
25 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 64 - 25 = 39
b = sqrt(39)

That's all you can do... there's no way to simplify sqrt(39). If they want you to have a numerical answer, you can use a calculator, but typically, you just leave it as sqrt(39)

Answer 7

i meant hypotenuse

Answer 8

usually, "simplify" a sqrt means something like "simplify sqrt(50)"

and you are supposed to realize that the stuff under the square root includes a factor that is a perfect square, like in this case, 50 = (25)(2)

So to simplify sqrt(50), you get sqrt(25 x 2) = 5sqrt(2)

Answer 9

lol....@JakeV8 thats wat i told...)

Answer 10

I know you did, @Yahoo! ... and you were right, too... @BrierraT just seemed to need a little more explanation.
