Answer:

C)√ 72

Explanation:

We will Simplify the radical by breaking the radicand up into a product of known factors.

When we do this, we figure out that...

A.√ 49 = 7

B.√ 64 = 8

D.√ 121 = 11

BUT C) is different.

√ 72 can not be divided into any whole number an exact amount of times.

So instead, this can be solved by writing it as shown:

Exact Form:

6 √ 2

Decimal Form:

8.48528137
