To simplify the given radicals, we break them down into their prime factors and simplify where possible.

  1. √27 can be simplified as follows:

    • 27 = 9 * 3 = 3² * 3
    • Therefore, √27 = √(9 * 3) = √9 * √3 = 3√3.
  2. √75 can be simplified as follows:

    • 75 = 25 * 3 = 5² * 3
    • Therefore, √75 = √(25 * 3) = √25 * √3 = 5√3.
  3. √32 can be simplified as follows:

    • 32 = 16 * 2 = 4² * 2
    • Therefore, √32 = √(16 * 2) = √16 * √2 = 4√2.

Now, pairing the problems with their corresponding simplified radicals, we have:

  • √27 matches with 3√3.
  • √75 matches with 5√3.
  • √32 matches with 4√2.

Now, you can insert the matched responses where indicated. The corresponding simplified radicals based on the calculations above are:

  • √273√3
  • √755√3
  • √324√2
