%286%2Asqrt%285%29%29+%2A+%284%2Asqrt%2810%29%29
First of all, all of these "parts" are being multiplied together. By the commutative property...
6+%2A+sqrt%285%29+%2A+4+%2A+sqrt%2810%29
From here, it should be obvious that this equals
24sqrt%2850%29
sqrt%2850%29+can be simplified as
sqrt%2825%29+%2A+2=+sqrt%2825%29+%2A+sqrt%282%29=+5sqrt%282%29.
Therefore,
24sqrt%2850%29=+24+%2A+5sqrt%282%29=+120sqrt%282%29
