Square root of 60 minus square root of 21 (√60-√21)

√60 - √21

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 60 and the square root of 21. Essentially, we will calculate √60 - √21.

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 60:
√60 ≈ 7.74597

2. Calculate the square root of 21:
√21 ≈ 4.58258

3. Subtract the square root of 21 from the square root of 60:
7.74597 - 4.58258 = 3.16339

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 21 from the square root of 60 is approximately 3.16339.

√60 - √21 ≈ 3.16339

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

2√15 - √21
