See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can rewrite the term under the radical as:

sqrt(49 * 169 * 2)

We can now use this rule for radicals to simplify the radical:

sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b))

sqrt(color(red)(49) * color(blue)(169) * 2) =>

sqrt(color(red)(49)) * sqrt(color(blue)(169)) * sqrt(2) =>

7 * 13 * sqrt(2) =>

91sqrt(2)
