We know that:
√36 = 6
√49 = 7

Since 38 is BETWEEN 36 and 49, we know that √38 must be BETWEEN 6 and 7
So, we can say √38 = 6.something

Likewise, since 45 is BETWEEN 36 and 49, we know that √45 must be BETWEEN 6 and 7
So, we can say √45 = 6.something

We get:
QUANTITY A: 6.something + 6.something
QUANTITY B: 12

Quantity A is greater.

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent
