\[
\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{30}=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the expression \(\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{30}\), we can use the property of square roots that states \(\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}\). Therefore, we first multiply the numbers under the square roots and then take the square root of the resulting product.
Step 1: Use the Property of Square Roots
To simplify the expression \(\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{30}\), we use the property of square roots:
\[
\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}
\]
Substituting the given values, we have:
\[
\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{30} = \sqrt{3 \cdot 30}
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Product Under the Square Root
Calculate the product of the numbers under the square root:
\[
3 \cdot 30 = 90
\]
Thus, the expression becomes:
\[
\sqrt{90}
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Square Root
Calculate the square root of 90:
\[
\sqrt{90} \approx 9.487
\]
