+9%2F%28+sqrt%2811%29%2Bsqrt%285%29+%29++=+1.620835219283415+
.
You can do this using the Google calculator that is built into the search engine:
In the search box type: 9/( sqrt(11)+sqrt(5) )
.
The Google search engine recognizes that you are asking it to calculate something.
The function "sqrt(...)" takes the square root of whatever you put between the parentheses.
.
You also can use the exponent (1/2).
Type in: 9/ (11^(1/2) + 5^(1/2))
.
Just FYI, you can use the exponent approach to get cubic roots by setting the exponent = (1/3).

+9+%2F+%28+sqrt%2811%29+%2B+sqrt%285%29+%29+
You can do this on a (good) calculator,
or, you can simplify it first

+%289%2A%28+sqrt%2811%29+-+sqrt%285%29%29+%29+%2F+%2811+-+5%29+
+%289%2A%28+sqrt%2811%29+-+sqrt%285%29%29+%29+%2F+6+
+%283%2A%28+sqrt%2811%29+-+sqrt%285%29%29+%29+%2F+2+
