How to find a cube root geometrically?

How do you find the cube root of the square root of eight?

  • Answer:

    You know that (x^a)^b == x^(ab) So [8^(1/2)]^(1/3) == 8^(1/6) So that is your answer, the cube root of the square root of eight is 8^(1/6), or "the sixth root of eight" If you want to simplify it, you know that 8 == 2^3, so 8^(1/6) == 2^(3/6) or simply 2^(1/2) which is "the square root of 2"
