<PRE><B>Question 907969</B>
I am in the 8th grade and we are learning about radicals simplifying them. I can not figure this one out, so please help me. What is the simplified radical for 486 and 289
-------
486 = 6*81
----
sqrt(486) = sqrt(81)*sqrt(6) = 9*sqrt(6)
============================
289 = 17^2
sqrt(289) = sqrt(17^2) = 17
