If it is not a perfect square
make a factor tree put
yourchioces in what is
called a hut and simplify.
To simplfy
find the
square root
of the
number in
the hut
Adding and Subtracting
For
subtracting
rewrite the
radical in
simplest form
You must simplify when the
radicals are not the same
number then just add
Add the outside
numbers
together when
the radicals are
the same
Breakdown your square root. If you have a
pair of numbers, move the numbers to the
outside of the hut and multiply the remaining
numbers together to make a new square root
When multiplying multiply the ones on
the inside and the ones on the outside
together
