Question 585555: I'm taking Geometry, but never learned how to simplify square roots. I can do the simple ones such as √24, but more comlicated ones such as 3√27, I cannot. So, for 3√27, I broke 27 into 9 x 3, and then the 9 into 3 x 3, but I don't even know if that's right or where to go from there. Sorry if that was confusing. I'm asking how 3√27 is simplified. That's it. Thank you, very much
