I want to calculate the degree $[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}]$.
It holds that $$[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}]=[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}][\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}] :\mathbb{Q}]=[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}]]\cdot 2$$ and $$[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}]=[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}[\rho]][\mathbb{Q}[\rho] :\mathbb{Q}]=[\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}, \rho] :\mathbb{Q}[\rho]]\cdot 4$$ since we know that the polynomial $f=x^4-2x^2-1\in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ is irreducible, and $\rho\in \mathbb{C}$ is a root of $f$.
