Answer:

6√2

Explanation:

Solving the given expression step by step:

72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Now for finding the square root we will make pair of two numbers of same values.

We have one pair of 2's and one pair of 3's and left one 2

Thus, √72 = 2 × 3 × √2 = 6√2

We rationalize denominator and change it into a simpler form as soon as possible.
