Find the factors of 54.

OpenStudy (igreen):

54: 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27

OpenStudy (igreen):

Which of those are perfect squares?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does perfectly square mean again?

OpenStudy (igreen):

When you find the square root it gets a whole number. Like 36, the square root of 36 is 6.

OpenStudy (igreen):

5 isn't one because it gives you a decimal when you find the square root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 isn't one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 3*3=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9 \sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, you got it. We take 9 and 6, because 9 * 6 = 54, and 9 is a perfect square. So we have: \(\sf \sqrt{54}\) \(\sf \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{6}\) Simplify the square root of 9

Ya!!!
