Square root of 50 minus square root of 8 (√50-√8)

√50 - √8

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 50 and the square root of 8. Essentially, we will calculate √50 - √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 50:
√50 ≈ 7.07107

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

3. Subtract the square root of 8 from the square root of 50:
7.07107 - 2.82843 = 4.24264

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 8 from the square root of 50 is approximately 4.24264.

√50 - √8 ≈ 4.24264

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

5√2 - 2√2
