Radical simplification often involves extracting perfect squares from under the radical sign. For √72, note 72 = 36 × 2, so √72 = √(36×2) = √36 × √2 = 6√2. More complex operations can include rationalizing denominators, e.g., 1 / √5 can be written as √5 / 5 by multiplying numerator and denominator by √5. Proficiency with radicals appears in geometry (Pythagorean distances), advanced algebra, and real-world measurements requiring root approximations. Frequent practice with factorization and rationalization ensures you handle square roots, cube roots, or higher-order radicals with confidence.
