Question

What is 3/sqrt 3?

Answer 1

`sqrt(3)` which equals `1.73205080757`

Explanation:

`3 /sqrt(3)` = `(3 xx sqrt(3))/(sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3)) = (3sqrt(3))/3 = sqrt(3)`

We're just multiplying the fraction with `sqrt(3) /sqrt(3)` (It's the same thing as `3 / sqrt(3)` because `sqrt(3)/ sqrt(3)` is equal to one).

Now the numerator becomes `3 xx sqrt (3)` and the denominator becomes `3`, because `sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3) = sqrt (3xx3) = 3`.

So now the fraction is `3 xx sqrt(3)/3`

The numerator `3` and denominator `3` cancel each other and the answer is `sqrt (3)` or `1.73205080757`.
