Square root of 3 minus square root of 87 (√3-√87)

√3 - √87

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 3 and the square root of 87. Essentially, we will calculate √3 - √87.

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 3:
√3 ≈ 1.73205

2. Calculate the square root of 87:
√87 ≈ 9.32738

3. Subtract the square root of 87 from the square root of 3:
1.73205 - 9.32738 = -7.59533

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 87 from the square root of 3 is approximately -7.59533.

√3 - √87 ≈ -7.59533

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