sqrt%282%29%28sqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%2811%29%29
Just use the Distributive Property:
sqrt%282%29%2Asqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%282%29%2Asqrt%2811%29
sqrt%282%2A5%29%2Bsqrt%282%2A11%29
sqrt%2810%29%2Bsqrt%2822%29
Since neither square root has a perfect square factor in its radicand (the expression inside is called a radicand), neither square root will simplify further.
