① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{81}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{27} } \cdot \sqrt{81} = 27 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{81} } \cdot \sqrt{81} = 81 $$ |
③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 27. |
