Recall following property of radicals:


\sqrt[]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[]{a}\cdot\sqrt[]{b}

Since 28 can be factorized as:


2^2\cdot7

Use the property previoulsy mentioned to rewrite the square root of 28:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{28}=\sqrt[]{2^2\cdot7} \\ =\sqrt[]{2^2}\cdot\sqrt[]{7} \\ =2\cdot\sqrt[]{7} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the simplest radical form of the square root of 28, is:


2\cdot\sqrt[]{7}
