Square root of 48 minus square root of 8 (√48-√8)

√48 - √8

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 48 and the square root of 8. Essentially, we will calculate √48 - √8.

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 48:
√48 ≈ 6.92820

2. Calculate the square root of 8:
√8 ≈ 2.82843

3. Subtract the square root of 8 from the square root of 48:
6.92820 - 2.82843 = 4.09977

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 8 from the square root of 48 is approximately 4.09977.

√48 - √8 ≈ 4.09977

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