Answer

16

Work Step by Step

We first combine this into one square root: $\sqrt {8\times 32} = \sqrt {256}$ We see if any of the factors of a radical are perfect squares (meaning that their square root will be an integer) to see if the radical is in its most simplified form. We see that 256 is a perfect square, so we know that we can simplify: $ \sqrt {256}=16$
