Square root of 38 minus square root of 5 (√38-√5)

√38 - √5

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 38 and the square root of 5. Essentially, we will calculate √38 - √5.

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 38:
√38 ≈ 6.16441

2. Calculate the square root of 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

3. Subtract the square root of 5 from the square root of 38:
6.16441 - 2.23607 = 3.92834

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 5 from the square root of 38 is approximately 3.92834.
