Answer: The required value of the radical is
6\sqrt2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to evaluate the following radical :


R=3\sqrt 8.

We will be using the following property of radicals :

For real numbers a and b, we have


√(a* b)=\sqrt a* \sqrt b.

So,


R\\\\=3\sqrt 8\\\\=3√(4* 2)\\\\=3* \sqrt 4* \sqrt 2\\\\=3* 2* \sqrt 2\\\\=6\sqrt 2.

Thus, the required value of the given radical is
6\sqrt2.
