Solve the following equation
2w^2=360
2w2 = 360
Using our radical expression calculator, we can simplify this
w2 = 180
√w2= √180
w= = ±√180
Checking square roots, we see that 132 = 169 and 142 = 196
Our answer is not an integer, so we try simplify it into the product of an integer and a radical.
√180 = √1√180
√180 = √2√90
√180 = √3√60
√180 = √4√45
√180 = √5√36
√180 = √6√30
√180 = √9√20
√180 = √10√18
√180 = √12√15
The highest factor that has an integer square root is 36
Therefore, we use the product combo √180 = √36√5
Evaluating square roots, we see that √36 = 6
