3.14626436994

sqrt of 24 = 4.89897948557 

add 5 = 9.89897948557

The find the sqrt of 9.89897948557 = 3.14626436994

 

I am not sure if this is right...

Well I got sqrt(5+2sqrt(6)) and sqrt(6) is about 2.44948974 and 2.44948974*2=4.89897948 also 4.89897948+5=9.89897948 then we solve sqrt(9.89897948) is about 3.14626437 so I agree that it is correct

hmm i think guest wanted it to be simplified exactly (like in simpler terms of radicals)...

 

here's my try at this problem:

 

5+24=5+26

 

so we can express 5+26  in the form of (a+b)2

 

so we know that a2+b2=5 and 2ab=6, so it's really easy to figure out that a=2 and b=3

 

so this would become (2+3)2

 

which means the equation is really just equal to 2+3

 

i hope this helped you! :)
