Square root of 85 minus square root of 8 (√85-√8)

√85 - √8

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 85 and the square root of 8. Essentially, we will calculate √85 - √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 85:
√85 ≈ 9.21954

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

3. Subtract the square root of 8 from the square root of 85:
9.21954 - 2.82843 = 6.39111

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 8 from the square root of 85 is approximately 6.39111.

√85 - √8 ≈ 6.39111

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