assuming you are only squaring what is under the square root sign you are just multiplying 8*3 (the square root of 3squared is 3).

There is only one way to interpret your ex pression and that is 8 times the square root of 3 squared or 8* (3^2).5.
This = 8 *3 = 24.

There is no way the ^2 could also apply to the 8. 3^2= 9 and is the only thing fllowing the radical so it alone applies to the radical. Don't let anyone confuse you about this.

3^2 is 9 and the square root of nine is 3, so 3 x 8 = 24.

(8√3)^2 = 64(3) =...
8(√3)^2 = 8(3) =...
8√(3^2) = 8√9 = 8(3) =...
Grouping symbols are extremely important.

Because of precedence, the way you have it written now makes the answer 24. The ^2 is applied to the sqrt(3) first and then it's multiplied by 8. Answer 24.

If you meant 8 times square root of 3 but power to two is affecting square root of 3....

8(√3)^2

Then consider 8(√3)^2 is really 8 times √3 times √3
Which means 8 times 3 because squaring square root cancels out each other.

Then the answer is 24

Its not all squared (in brackets) so it is 8 x 3 = 24

did you mean ( 8√3)^2 or 8(√(3^2) )

well, i'll do both

(8√3)^2

= 8√3 * 8√3

= 64 √9

= 64 * 3

= 192


8 (√3)^2

= 8 * 3

= 24

(8√3)^2 = 192 =8*8*3
8*(√3)^2 = 24 = 8*3

7 because if you do 8 divided by 3 which is 2 2/3 time itself 2 2/3, you get 7.
