Solve 2sqrt{6}*sqrt{1/2}

$$2 \sqrt { 6 } \times \sqrt { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$2\sqrt{3}\approx 3.464101615$$

Solution Steps

Rewrite the square root of the division \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} as the division of square roots \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{2}}.

$$2\sqrt{6}\times \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Calculate the square root of 1 and get 1.

$$2\sqrt{6}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Rationalize the denominator of \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{2}.

$$2\sqrt{6}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}}$$

The square of \sqrt{2} is 2.

$$2\sqrt{6}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$

Cancel out 2 and 2.

$$\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}$$

Factor 6=2\times 3. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{2\times 3} as the product of square roots \sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}.

$$\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}$$

Multiply \sqrt{2} and \sqrt{2} to get 2.

$$2\sqrt{3}$$
