What is the √(5² - 3²) ?

√(25-9)
√16 = 4

or
(√5²-3²)½
5-3 = 2

The first

Don't take the √ twice. ()1/2>/sup> is another √.

thanks

To find the value of √(5² - 3²), we first need to simplify the expression inside the square root.

The expression 5² means 5 raised to the power of 2, which is equal to 5 × 5 = 25. Similarly, the expression 3² means 3 raised to the power of 2, which is equal to 3 × 3 = 9.

So, √(5² - 3²) simplifies to √(25 - 9).

Next, we subtract 9 from 25, which gives us 16.

Now, we have √16. The square root of 16 is 4, because 4 × 4 = 16.

Therefore, the value of √(5² - 3²) is 4.
