They say the answer is: 4 times the sqare root of 2 (sorry cannot make the root box)
Simplify by factoring: Square root of 32
:
sqrt%2832%29
Factor inside the radical to reveal the perfect squares
sqrt%284%2A4%2A2%29
:
Extract the square root of both 4's
2%2A2%2Asqrt%282%29
which is
4%2Asqrt%282%29
