If you need a decimal approximation, use the calculator.

For an exact reduced answer, find a perfect square that divides into 72.

Of the perfect squares less than 100:  100  81  64  49  36  25  16  9  4  1

36 is the largest perfect square that divides into 72:  72  =  36 x 3

√72  =  √36 · √2  =  6√2
