Square root of 24 minus square root of 72 (√24-√72)

√24 - √72

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 24 and the square root of 72. Essentially, we will calculate √24 - √72.

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 24:
√24 ≈ 4.89898

2. Calculate the square root of 72:
√72 ≈ 8.48528

3. Subtract the square root of 72 from the square root of 24:
4.89898 - 8.48528 = -3.5863

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 72 from the square root of 24 is approximately -3.5863.

√24 - √72 ≈ -3.5863

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