Square root of 40 minus square root of 6 (√40-√6)

√40 - √6

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 40 and the square root of 6. Essentially, we will calculate √40 - √6.

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 40:
√40 ≈ 6.32456

2. Calculate the square root of 6:
√6 ≈ 2.44949

3. Subtract the square root of 6 from the square root of 40:
6.32456 - 2.44949 = 3.87507

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 6 from the square root of 40 is approximately 3.87507.

√40 - √6 ≈ 3.87507

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

2√10 - √6
