Both sides equal each other. Do you want to know how?
√(4 + 16 + 16√3 + 12) = 4√(2 + √3)
Surd Rule: Numbers with the same surd can be added together. Therefore, all whole integers can be added together.
√(4 + 16 + 16√3 + 12)
√((4 + 16 + 12 )+ 16√3 ) =
√(32 + 16√3)
Simplify by Factorising the common factor - 16
√(32 + 16√3) ÷ 16
√(16 (2 + √3))
Square root 16. This is because it is a not a surd because it is not in it's simplest form.
√16 = 4
√4 (2 + √3)
