Math Problem Statement

5sqrt72

Solution

To simplify 5725\sqrt{72}:

  1. Break down 72 into its prime factors:
    72=23×3272 = 2^3 \times 3^2

  2. Now, separate the perfect square factor:
    72=36×2=36×2=62\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36 \times 2} = \sqrt{36} \times \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}

  3. Multiply this result by 5:
    572=5×62=3025\sqrt{72} = 5 \times 6\sqrt{2} = 30\sqrt{2}

Thus, the simplified form of 5725\sqrt{72} is: 30230\sqrt{2}
