### Examples

##### Example 1 of Multiplying Square roots
Step 1

Check to see if you can simplify either of the square roots(. )If you can, then simplify!

Both square roots are already simplified so skip this step

Step 2

Step 3
##### Example 2. A slightly more complex example
Step 1

Check to see if you can simplify either of the square roots(. )If you can, then simplify!

can indeed be simplified :

Step 2

Step 3

### Practice Problems

Multiply the square roots below and express each answer in simplest radical form.

This problem is similar to example 1 because you can not simplify either of the square roots.

Step 1
Check to see if you can simplify either of the square roots. If you can, then simplify!
Skip this since both square roots are already simplified.
