Evaluate the following expression, or state that the root is not a real number.

Question

square root 64+36

Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

A. The root is a real number and 64 + 36 = blank

B. The root is not a real number.

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(\sqrt{64 + 36}\), we first calculate the sum inside the square root:

\[ 64 + 36 = 100 \]

Now we can find the square root:

\[ \sqrt{100} = 10 \]

So, the root is a real number.

The correct choice is:

A. The root is a real number and \(64 + 36 = 100\).
