Problem

Why might It be more useful to have a square root in simplest form rather than a large number under the root or the approximate Value?​

Solution

One possible answer is that if we have the square root in the simplest form we can simplify expression add, subtract and multiply/divide by other quantities. Also with the simplification is easire to understand the value of interest.
