The square root we need to simplify is:


\sqrt[]{52}

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:


52=4*13

We substitute this in the square root:


\sqrt[]{4*13}

And we calculate the square root of 4 which is 2, and that goes outside the square root:


2\sqrt[]{13}

we left the number 13 inside the square root because the square root of 13 is not exact.

Answer:


2\sqrt[]{13}
