multiply ip and down with sqr2
8sqr20/2=4sqr20=8sqr5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait what
OpenStudy (angela210793):
up*\[8\sqrt{10}*\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=8\sqrt{20}/2=8\sqrt{5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i just don't understand the last bit.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{8\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}}\]
\[=\frac{8\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\]
\[=\frac{8\sqrt{20}}{2}\]
\[=4\sqrt{20}\]
\[=8\sqrt{5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
√4*√5 = 2√5
OpenStudy (angela210793):
yea *4 tht u get from 8/2 make it 8sqr5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
last step because
\[\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4\times 5}=\sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what the heck? lol
