Question

A student found the distance between two points to be 74. Can the length be simplified?

Answer 1

From the information given,

length between both points is square root of 74

The factors of 74 are 2 and 37. Thus means that

`\sqrt[]{74}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{2*37}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{2}^{}*\sqrt[]{37}`

These roots cannot be simplified. Thus, the answer is

No
