My question is in the comments :)

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

\[Simplify \sqrt{162}\]

OpenStudy (igreen):

Find the factors of 162

OpenStudy (igreen):

162 / 2 = ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

We're looking for one that is a perfect square.

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

81

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

but the answer choices are what confuse me

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: \(\sqrt 2 \times \sqrt{81}\) Now simplify the square root of 81

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

9x 9 = 81

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: \(\sqrt 2 \times 9\) or \(9 \sqrt 2\)

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

so the final answer is D
