Square root of 88 minus square root of 5 (√88-√5)

√88 - √5

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 88 and the square root of 5. Essentially, we will calculate √88 - √5.

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 88:
√88 ≈ 9.38083

2. Calculate the square root of 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

3. Subtract the square root of 5 from the square root of 88:
9.38083 - 2.23607 = 7.14476

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 5 from the square root of 88 is approximately 7.14476.
