Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the problem involves square roots of perfect squares: \(\sqrt{25}\) and \(\sqrt{64}\).
Recall that \(\sqrt{25}\) is the number which, when squared, gives 25. Similarly, \(\sqrt{64}\) is the number which, when squared, gives 64.
Identify the values of these square roots: \(\sqrt{25} = 5\) and \(\sqrt{64} = 8\).
Add the two results together: \(5 + 8\).
Write the final answer as the sum of these two numbers without intermediate calculations.
