Why is the square root of two negative radicals multiplied not equal to that multiplication?

In general, complex numbers are treated specially because they are the a squared number that is equal to a negative number. This isn't possible in traditional math because a positive times a positive and a negative times a negative both produce a positive.
This property is true.
\sqrt{x}^2 = x
This property is also true.
\sqrt{x} *  \sqrt{x}  =  \sqrt{x*x}
We also know that x^2 = x * x. The problem comes when you mix these two properties together. Lets solve each one practically and see what happens.
This is straight forward, plug and chug:
\sqrt{-6}^2 = -6
This one takes some more work, but still comes out to a simple answer.
\sqrt{-6} *  \sqrt{-6}  =  \sqrt{-6*-6}
\sqrt{-6} *  \sqrt{-6}  =  \sqrt{36}
\sqrt{-6} *  \sqrt{-6}  = 6
The problem is we have two different answers for the same definition. This contradiction is why complex number notation was created.
\sqrt{6}i is how \sqrt{-6} is written typically with the 6 part being the six from the radical and the i being \sqrt{-1}.
From this, we can multiply \sqrt{6}i and \sqrt{6}i to find the answer to your question.
\sqrt{6}i * \sqrt{6}i
\sqrt{6}*\sqrt{6} * i^2
6 * -1
-6

Answer:

I think it's G

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a=8 root 3=8×3=24cm

Yh so I multiplied the 24cm by 12cm

12cm×24cm=288cm squared

and the square root of 288cm is 96 root 3 cm squared
