These are called ‘perfect cubes’ because the length, width, and height of a cube are whole numbers. The list of perfect cubes goes on and on. . .
Simplify: Choose the GREATEST Perfect Square that equally divides into 75. ALWAYS place the perfect square first!
Simplify: Choose the GREATEST Perfect Square that equally divides into 32. ALWAYS place the perfect square first!
Simplify: Choose the GREATEST Perfect Square that equally divides into 72. ALWAYS place the perfect square first! Note: Be careful…both 9 and 36 equally divides into 72, select the GREATEST…
Simplify: Remember that squares and square roots are inverse operations… Simply divide the exponent by 2, any remainder stays under the radical sign……
Simplify: Divide each exponent by two leaving any remainders under the radical sign.
