Solve 4sqrt{3}+2sqrt{12}

$$4 \sqrt { 3 } + 2 \sqrt { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$8\sqrt{3}\approx 13.856406461$$

Solution Steps

Factor 12=2^{2}\times 3. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{2^{2}\times 3} as the product of square roots \sqrt{2^{2}}\sqrt{3}. Take the square root of 2^{2}.

$$4\sqrt{3}+2\times 2\sqrt{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$4\sqrt{3}+4\sqrt{3}$$

Combine 4\sqrt{3} and 4\sqrt{3} to get 8\sqrt{3}.

$$8\sqrt{3}$$
