Since your interested in square root each value in each radicand you can compare them directly. A value of 6 is greater than 3, which is greater than 2 . The √6 and the √3 terms are each multiplied by 2, which will not alter which is greater than the other . And since √2 is not multiplied by 2, it remains the smallest

So , the correct order is
2√6 cm > 2√3 cm > √2 cm.

How do you solve tan(sin^-1 x/2)? (show steps)

First: Equations are solved. $\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2\right)$ is an expression, and expressions can be simplified.

Now suppose $y=\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2$ . Imagine a right triangle with one angle (not the one opposite the hypotenuse, of course) labeled $y$ . This relation suggests that

$\sin y=\dfrac x2$

and under the hood, we're assuming that $-\dfrac\pi2$ , because otherwise we wouldn't be able to properly alternate from $x$ to $y$ so seamlessly.

Now,

$\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2\right)=\tan y$

so the given expression is the same as the tangent of that same angle $y$ .

If $\sin y=\dfrac x2$ , then in the triangle, the leg opposite the angle $y$ occurs with the length of the hypotenuse in a ratio of $x$ to 2. By the Pythagorean theorem, the remaining side - call it $z$ - satisifies
