Answer

$\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{28}=4\sqrt{14}$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{28}\qquad$ ...write $28$ as $4\cdot 7$. $=\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{4\cdot 7}\qquad$ ...write $8$ as $4\cdot 2$ $=\sqrt{4\cdot 2}\cdot\sqrt{4\cdot 7}\qquad$ ...use the Product Property of square roots:$\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}$ $=\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{7}\qquad$ ...simplify. $=4\cdot\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{7}\qquad$ ...use the Product Property of square roots:$\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}$ $=4\sqrt{2\cdot 7}\qquad$ ...simplify. $=4\sqrt{14}$
