What is three times the square root of 24?

  1. 6

  2. 24

  3. 12

  4. 36

The correct answer is: 36

To solve for the value of three times the square root of 24, we first need to calculate the value of the square root of 24, which is approximately 4.9. Multiplying 4.9 by 3 gives us a value of 14.7, which is closest to option D. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not involve the necessary calculation of the square root of 24. Option A is incorrect because it is simply the number 6, which is not the same as three times the square root of 24. Option B is incorrect because it is the number 24, which is not the same as three times the square root of 24. Option C is incorrect because it is the number 12, which is also not the same as three times the square root of 24.
