The square root we need to simplify is:
![\sqrt[]{52}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/737r2d2z53f7y98lq95doo6rdz5zeyh84q.png)
We need to find an expression equivalent to 54 which includes a perfect square number (4, 16, 25, etc,...)
In this case, we note that:

We substitute this in the square root:
![\sqrt[]{4*13}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/9kmxdh2df770wlxs4p8soch2dypucdkb17.png)
And we calculate the square root of 4 which is 2, and that goes outside the square root:
![2\sqrt[]{13}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/aox4s2cqq2pot62dwmz3ejgy7cqahdieac.png)
we left the number 13 inside the square root because the square root of 13 is not exact.
Answer:
![2\sqrt[]{13}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/aox4s2cqq2pot62dwmz3ejgy7cqahdieac.png)
