To simplify \( \sqrt{64x^2} \), we can break it down into its components:
- The square root of 64 is 8, since \( 8 \times 8 = 64 \).
- The square root of \( x^2 \) is \( x \) (given that \( x > 0 \)).
Putting both parts together, we have:
\[ \sqrt{64x^2} = \sqrt{64} \times \sqrt{x^2} = 8x. \]
Thus, the simplified form of \( \sqrt{64x^2} \) is:
\[ \boxed{8x}. \]
