Answer

72

Work Step by Step

First of all, in order to make this one large square root, we multiply the coefficients to obtain that the new coefficient is 12. Also, recall, $\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{b}= \sqrt{a \times b}$. Thus, we can multiply 6 and 6 to obtain the simplified expression: $12\sqrt{6 \times 6}=12\sqrt{36}=72$
