Math Problem Statement

Simplify: √28 * √3

Solution

Let's simplify 28×3\sqrt{28} \times \sqrt{3}.

Step 1: Use the Product Property of Square Roots

a×b=a×b\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b} Applying this rule: 28×3=28×3=84\sqrt{28} \times \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{28 \times 3} = \sqrt{84}

Step 2: Simplify 84\sqrt{84}

First, factor 84: 84=4×2184 = 4 \times 21 Since 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2, we can rewrite: 84=4×21=4×21=221\sqrt{84} = \sqrt{4 \times 21} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{21} = 2\sqrt{21}

Final Answer:

2212\sqrt{21}

So the correct choice from the given options is 2212\sqrt{21}.
