Calculating radicals can be difficult if they don't work out. To calculate a radical that doesn't work out, you can estimate by finding which two perfect square roots it lies between. You can also use a calculator.

An alternative solution, using properties of square roots is where
√((a*b)) = √(a) * √(b)

Using this, we can create
2√(3)\\=√(4*3)\\=√(12). This is between the perfect square 9 and 16 (3 and 4).
