√3x1598 = 2769

I've tried to do the calculation above to get the same answer but if I do I get the answer below ?

square root, 3 x 1598 = 69.23871749.

 

hi e,
What is the square root of 3.??

The formula says: the square root of 3 times 1598
It is badly written.

√3 x 1598 = 2769
E

 

It should have been written as √3 x 1598 = 2769; and they used a strange number for the squareroot of 3.

This forum is really for electronics homework, not math...

 

Thanks for the reply, yes I've just realised now .

1.73 x 1598

 

√3x1598 = 2769

Exponentiation (and roots are included because that is just an exponent of 0.5) has higher precedence than multiplication. So the expression is

(√3) x 1598

and NOT

√(3 x 1598)

 

they used a strange number for the squareroot of 3.

They were sloppy. I wonder about the source. It could have been a slip of the finger when typing, rounding up 2767.8
