Square root of 12 minus square root of 2 (√12-√2)

√12 - √2

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 12 and the square root of 2. Essentially, we will calculate √12 - √2.

First, we need to find the square root of each number individually. Then we will subtract one from the other. Below is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate the square root of 12:
√12 ≈ 3.46410

2. Calculate the square root of 2:
√2 ≈ 1.41421

3. Subtract the square root of 2 from the square root of 12:
3.46410 - 1.41421 = 2.04989

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 2 from the square root of 12 is approximately 2.04989.

√12 - √2 ≈ 2.04989

To make things even more convenient, we have also expressed the result in its simplest radical form:

2√3 - √2
