To match the given problems to the corresponding simplified radicals, we'll simplify each radical expression.

  1. √12:

    • √12 = √(4 * 3) = √4 * √3 = 2√3.
  2. √54:

    • √54 = √(9 * 6) = √9 * √6 = 3√6.
  3. √45:

    • √45 = √(9 * 5) = √9 * √5 = 3√5.
  4. 18:

    • This does not need simplification, but rather we'll compare it appropriately with expressions.

Now, we summarize the results:

  • √12 = 2√3
  • √54 = 3√6
  • √45 = 3√5

Now to match the expressions to the radicals provided in the question, we can see:

  • 18 is a whole number and does not correspond to any of the simplified radicals directly.

  • 2√3 corresponds to the simplified radical of √12.

  • 3√6 corresponds to the simplified radical of √54.

  • 3√5 corresponds to the simplified radical of √45.

Thus the matches would be:

  • √12 = 2√3
  • √54 = 3√6
  • √45 = 3√5

The corrected structure would be:

  • L = 3√5
  • = 3√6 corresponds to √54
  • 2√√√3 corresponds to √12

  • :: 3√2 does not match any of the radicals provided above.
