$\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the expression \(\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{5}+12)\), we need to distribute \(\sqrt{3}\) across the terms inside the parentheses. This involves multiplying \(\sqrt{3}\) by \(\sqrt{5}\) and \(\sqrt{3}\) by 12. After performing these multiplications, we simplify the resulting expression by combining any like terms or simplifying any square roots if possible.
Step 1: Distributing the Square Root
We start with the expression:
\[
\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{5} + 12)
\]
We distribute \(\sqrt{3}\) across the terms inside the parentheses:
\[
\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} \cdot 12
\]
Step 2: Simplifying the Terms
Next, we simplify each term:
The first term becomes:
\[
\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{15}
\]
The second term simplifies to:
\[
\sqrt{3} \cdot 12 = 12\sqrt{3}
\]
Combining these results, we have:
\[
\sqrt{15} + 12\sqrt{3}
\]
Step 3: Final Expression
The expression \(\sqrt{15} + 12\sqrt{3}\) cannot be simplified further, as there are no like terms to combine.
Final Answer
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{\sqrt{15} + 12\sqrt{3}}
\]
