Square root of 125 minus square root of 8 (√125-√8)

√125 - √8

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 125 and the square root of 8. Essentially, we will calculate √125 - √8.

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 125:
√125 ≈ 11.18034

2. Calculate the square root of 8:
√8 ≈ 2.82843

3. Subtract the square root of 8 from the square root of 125:
11.18034 - 2.82843 = 8.35191

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 8 from the square root of 125 is approximately 8.35191.

√125 - √8 ≈ 8.35191

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