Question

Geometry Help!

Answer 1

Ah, one more thing, I need to simplify it.

Answer 2

Trying to find the square root, I assume?

Answer 3

Yes, it should turn out to something like this;
\[2\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 4

How...\[2\sqrt{3}\]?

Answer 5

That's not correct.

Answer 6

Example answer.

Answer 7

Oh. ._.

Answer 8

\[\sqrt{48}\]So we start with the prime factorization. Do you know what the prime factorization of 48 is?

Answer 9

Sorry, Umm 16*3?

Answer 10

Oh that works too. ._.

Well go with.. \[2^4*3\]...instead.

Apply the radical rule:
\[\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}\]Fill it in. (A is 2^4 and B is 3).
\[\sqrt{2^4*3}=\sqrt{2^4}\]

Answer 11

Yea but my teacher said it should look like this;

Answer 12

Yea imagine's right qcb xd
Putting it all the way to 2^4 is just an extra step
it would be better to just do \[\sqrt48 = \sqrt(16 \times 3) = \sqrt16 \times \sqrt3 = 4 \times \sqrt3\]

Answer 13

Ah, so it would be
\[4\sqrt{3}\]
Thank you QCB for the other explanation. XD
