+sqrt%28+72x+%29+%2F+sqrt%28+2x+%29+
+sqrt%28+%28+72x+%29+%2F+%28+2x+%29+%29+
+sqrt%28+36+%29+=+6+
---------------
Here's one way to check:
+sqrt%28+72%2A6+%29+%2F+sqrt%28+2%2A6+%29+
+sqrt%28+432+%29+%2F+sqrt%28+12+%29+
+20.784609+%2F+3.461016+
+6.00535+
Not quite as close as I thought. Maybe it's just
my calculator, but pretty close
