Answer 1

Answer:
`4√(3)` (choice A)

========================================

Work Shown:

`√(48) = √(16*3)\\\\√(48) = √(16)*√(3)\\\\√(48) = 4√(3)`

The idea is to factor 48 such that one of the factors is the largest perfect square possible. So that's why we go with 48 = 16*3. Then we use the rule
`√(x*y) = √(x)*√(y)` to break up the root.
