Simplification steps

  1. 1Factorize: 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
  2. 2Pair up equal factors; each pair comes out as one factor
  3. 3√72 = 6√2 ≈ 8.485281

Position between 8² and 9²

√72 ≈ 8.4853

Perfect squares 1²–15²

1² = 12² = 43² = 94² = 165² = 25
6² = 367² = 498² = 649² = 8110² = 100
11² = 12112² = 14413² = 16914² = 19615² = 225
Mental math: to estimate √n, bracket it between perfect squares and interpolate — √50 ≈ 7 + (50−49)/(64−49) ≈ 7.07 (true 7.0711).

💡 Estimation trick: find nearest perfect squares — √50 is between 7² and 8², closer to 7.1. Simplification: pull out square factors (√72 = √36·√2 = 6√2). To add radicals, simplify first: √8 + √18 = 2√2 + 3√2 = 5√2.
