How Do You Multiply Radicals?When determining how to multiply radicals together, you need to use the same property that you use to simplify radicals, except in reverse. To simplify a radical, you used this property to split up a radical into two separate radicals.
This property can also be used to multiply radicals together. When two radicals are multiplied together, you can combine them into one. Example 1To multiply two radicals together, you can first rewrite the problem as one radical. The two numbers inside the square roots can be multiplied together under one square root. Simplify what's inside the radical to write your final answer.
