Math Problem Statement

What is the product of square root of, 2, end square root 2 ​ and 5, square root of, 10, end square root5 10 ​ in simplest radical form?

Solution

To find the product of 2\sqrt{2} and 5105\sqrt{10}, we multiply the constants and the radicals separately.

The product is: 2×510\sqrt{2} \times 5\sqrt{10} This can be rewritten as: 5×(2×10)5 \times (\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{10}) Using the property of square roots a×b=ab\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{ab}, we have: 2×10=2×10=20\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{10} = \sqrt{2 \times 10} = \sqrt{20} Thus, the expression becomes: 5×205 \times \sqrt{20} Now simplify 20\sqrt{20}. Since 20=4×5=25\sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \times 5} = 2\sqrt{5}, the expression becomes: 5×25=1055 \times 2\sqrt{5} = 10\sqrt{5} So, the product of 2\sqrt{2} and 5105\sqrt{10} in simplest radical form is: 10510\sqrt{5}
