Answer: Answer below

Explanation:

Given √675, we can simplify it by finding the factors of 675.

Prime factorization of 675:

675 ÷ 3 = 225

225 ÷ 3 = 75

75 ÷ 3 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

So the prime factorization of 675 is 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5.

Using the product rule of radicals, we can simplify the expression as follows:

√675 = √(3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5)

= √(3 x 3) x √(5 x 5) x √3

= 3√(5 x 5) x √3

= 3 x 5√3

= 15√3

Therefore, the simplest radical form of √675 is 15√3.

Circle final answer: 15√3
