Square root of 180

Solution

The square root of 180 can be simplified by finding the prime factorization of 180 and then simplifying the square root.

  1. Prime Factorization of 180: 180=22×32×5180 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5

  2. Simplify the square root: 180=22×32×5=22×32×5\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5} = \sqrt{2^2} \times \sqrt{3^2} \times \sqrt{5}

    180=2×3×5=65\sqrt{180} = 2 \times 3 \times \sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}

So, the simplified form of 180\sqrt{180} is 656\sqrt{5}.
