think how to brake up the square root into the product f a bunch of perfect squares, like \[\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{3}~~~~or~~~~4\sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u do it

i dont understand

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

do you see that 16 is a perfect square?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[16=4^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do u get the answer

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[So,~~~3\sqrt{16}=3\sqrt{4^2}=3 \times 4 = 12\]\[\sqrt{54}= \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt {6} = \sqrt{3^2} \times \sqrt{6}=3 \times \sqrt{6}=3\sqrt{6} \]\[SO~~~~~~~12+3\sqrt{6}\]
