Initial Steps in Radical Distribution

An industrial designer is simplifying the expression 6(2+18)\sqrt{6}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{18}) to verify the dimensions of a new prototype. To begin the process, the designer multiplies 6\sqrt{6} by each term inside the parentheses. Name the algebraic property that justifies this step, and list the two radical products that result immediately from this multiplication before any further simplification is performed.
