Which of the following shows the correct value of the \[\sqrt{175}\] please help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We know that\[25*7 = 175\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and that\[\sqrt{25} = 5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So\[\sqrt{175} = \sqrt{7*25} = 5\sqrt{7}\]

yes

So when we can seperate the 25 out like\[\sqrt{25*7}\] we can take the 25 out of the radical as 5\[5\sqrt{7}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you want to know the number like they asked you in your problem just plug \[\sqrt{175}\] into your calculator next time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess that would help huh. haha thank you

Just use your calculator and dont think about too much of what I showed you, because I dont think you need to know it yet.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
