Square root of 12 minus square root of 5 (√12-√5)

√12 - √5

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 12 and the square root of 5. Essentially, we will calculate √12 - √5.

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 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

3. Subtract the square root of 5 from the square root of 12:
3.46410 - 2.23607 = 1.22803

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 5 from the square root of 12 is approximately 1.22803.

√12 - √5 ≈ 1.22803

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

2√3 - √5
