square root of 6 / the square root of 5 - the square root of 3
multiply the denominator and numerator by square root of 5 + the square root of 3
then we get
square root of 6 * (square root of 5 + the square root of 3) / 2
(square root of 30 + square root of 18) / 2
(square root of 30 + 3*square root of 2) / 2
