    I think that is just short-hand for 3 * sqrt(6)

    sqrt(6) evals to about 2.45 (with severe rounding)

    so 3 * 2.45 = 7.35

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.


    Take credit, not responsibility

    sqrt(a^2*b) = a*sqrt(b)

    so 3sqrt(6) = sqrt(6*3^2) = sqrt(54)
    (assuming no cubic root)
