Why is
[tex]\sqrt{9+36}[/tex]
= [tex]3\sqrt{5}[/tex]
and not 6.708 ?
I wasnt interested in maths at school but now I'm trying to self teach, so pardon my ignorance.
Edit: Ok i feel foolish now, no need to correct me as I've just worked out i WAS correct. I'm still unsure as to why it would be shown like this though.
