To find the square root of 96, we can simplify it as follows:
-
First, factor 96: \( 96 = 16 \times 6 \)
-
Then, take the square root: \( \sqrt{96} = \sqrt{16 \times 6} \)
-
Using the property of square roots, we can separate it: \( \sqrt{96} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{6} \)
-
Since \( \sqrt{16} = 4 \): \( \sqrt{96} = 4\sqrt{6} \)
Therefore, the simplified square root of 96 is \( 4\sqrt{6} \).
Among the provided options, the correct response is:
- \( 4\sqrt{6} \)
