Question:

The value of $\sqrt{9-2\sqrt{11-6\sqrt{2}}}$ is closest to:

Options:

2.7

2.9

2.4

2.1

Correct Answer:

2.4

Explanation:

( a - b )2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab

 $\sqrt{9-2\sqrt{11-6\sqrt{2}}}$

= $\sqrt{9 - 2\sqrt{(\sqrt{9} - \sqrt{2})^2}}$

= $\sqrt{9 - 2\sqrt{(3 - \sqrt{2})^2}}$

= $\sqrt{9 - 6 + 2\sqrt{2}}$

= $\sqrt{3 + 2.82}$

= 2.4
