\[\sqrt{56}/8 = \sqrt{7} or no?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what would it be? if it isnt
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{\frac{ 56 }{ 8 }}\]
Is this the problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If so, you have the correct answer.
Do you understand why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Try to simplify the top and see what happens
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 2\sqrt{14} }{ 8 }\] is that correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is right
