To simplify the expression \( \sqrt{300} \):
-
First, factor \( 300 \): \[ 300 = 100 \times 3 = 10^2 \times 3 \]
-
Now take the square root: \[ \sqrt{300} = \sqrt{10^2 \times 3} = \sqrt{10^2} \times \sqrt{3} = 10\sqrt{3} \]
Thus, the simplified form of \( \sqrt{300} \) is: \[ 10\sqrt{3} \]
So, the answer is \( 10\sqrt{3} \).
