Answer

$$12\sqrt 5$$

Work Step by Step

We can use the product rule for square roots to rewrite the radicand as a product of the greatest perfect square factor and another factor: $$6(\sqrt 4 \sqrt 5)$$ Because $4$ is a perfect square, we go ahead and simplify the expression by taking the square root of $4$, which is $2$: $$6(2)(\sqrt 5)$$ We can now multiply the coefficients together: $$12\sqrt 5$$
