    The answer is 3.

    You can see this two ways.

    √3 * √3 = √(3 * 3) = √9 = 3

    √(3^2) means the root and the power cancel out, and the number under the radical just comes out again, since root and power are inverses -- and will multiply to 1 times the number.

    The square root of 3 times the square root of 3=square root of 3 squared.

    The squared cancels out the square root and the answer is 3.

  • It's 3. The square root of any number, when multiplied by itself, will be that number.
