If we factor 60, we get 60 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

So sqrt ( 60 ) = sqrt (2 * 2 * 3 * 5)

= sqrt (2 * 2) * sqrt (3 * 5)

= 4 * sqrt( 15 ) ____________________________________________________________ actually if you do by just using the simpler way you should get 2 radical 15 since , 60 has the closest perfect square of 4 and non perfect of 15 this is how you should solve radical 60 = radical 4 times radical 15 radical 60 = simplify the 4 to 2 and leave radical 15 So , radical 60 = 2 radical 15 not what is above .
