Recall the property of square roots that states: \(\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{a} = a\) for any positive number \(a\).
Apply this property to the given expression \(\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{6}\).
Since both square roots are of the same number 6, multiply them directly using the property: \(\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{6} = 6\).
Understand that this operation simplifies the expression by removing the square root, leaving just the number inside.
Therefore, the result of \(\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{6}\) is simply 6.
