Square root of 120 minus square root of 2 (√120-√2)

√120 - √2

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 120 and the square root of 2. Essentially, we will calculate √120 - √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 120:
√120 ≈ 10.95445

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

3. Subtract the square root of 2 from the square root of 120:
10.95445 - 1.41421 = 9.54024

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 2 from the square root of 120 is approximately 9.54024.

√120 - √2 ≈ 9.54024

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

2√30 - √2
