The following value is unsimplified because it has a factor a a perfect square inside the radical. See how the laws of radicals are used to simplify it. Then select the simplified answer.

In the last question, it was easy to see the factor of 4 which is a perfect square. Sometimes it is a little more difficult to see the perfect square factors. It might help to prime factor instead. Finish simplifying the expression below. \sqrt{72}\ =\ \sqrt{8\ \cdot\ 9} =\ \sqrt{2\ \cdot\ 2\ \cdot\ 2\ \cdot\ 3\ \cdot\ 3} =\sqrt{2}\ \cdot\ \sqrt{2}\ \cdot\ \sqrt{2}\ \cdot\sqrt{3}\ \cdot\sqrt{3}
