Square root of 8 minus square root of 80 (√8-√80)

√8 - √80

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 8 and the square root of 80. Essentially, we will calculate √8 - √80.

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 8:
√8 ≈ 2.82843

2. Calculate the square root of 80:
√80 ≈ 8.94427

3. Subtract the square root of 80 from the square root of 8:
2.82843 - 8.94427 = -6.11584

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 80 from the square root of 8 is approximately -6.11584.

√8 - √80 ≈ -6.11584

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

2√2 - 4√5
