Square root of 16 minus square root of 32 (√16-√32)

√16 - √32

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 16 and the square root of 32. Essentially, we will calculate √16 - √32.

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 16:
√16 = 4

2. Calculate the square root of 32:
√32 ≈ 5.65685

3. Subtract the square root of 32 from the square root of 16:
4 - 5.65685 = -1.65685

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 32 from the square root of 16 is approximately -1.65685.

√16 - √32 ≈ -1.65685

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

4 - 4√2
