Square root of 2 plus square root of 16 (√2 + √16)

√2 + √16

Here we'll guide you through the process of calculating the sum of the square root of 2 and the square root of 16. In other words, we'll be calculating √2 + √16.

First, we need to determine the square root of each number individually. Then, we add them together. Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1. Find the square root of 2:
√2 ≈ 1.41421

2. Find the square root of 56:
√16 = 4

3. Add the square root of 34 to the square root of 56:
1.41421 + 4 = 5.41421

Therefore, the result of adding the square root of 2 to the square root of 16 is approximately 5.41421.

√2 + √16 ≈ 5.41421

For your convenience, we've also expressed the result in its simplest radical form:

√2 + 4
