Answer 1

Hi.

Answer 2

\[\huge \frac{ \sqrt5 }{ m } = \frac{ m }{ \sqrt20 }\]

Answer 3

find the value of m

Answer 4

OK. Here's the way I look at this. You can't solve for m while it's in the denominator. What mathematical operation could you perform to get rid of the m in the denominator on the left hand side.

Answer 5

can you multiply it ?

Answer 6

Exactly. Multiply both sides by m. Then what will it look like?

Answer 7

\[\sqrt5 = \frac{ m^2 }{ \sqrt20 } => \sqrt{100} = m^2 => m = 10\]

Answer 8

You're very good. Well done!

Answer 9

thank u! i need help on two other.. can u still bear with me?

Answer 10

Oops. Wait one second. There might be a small boo boo in your answer.

Answer 11

\[\sqrt{5} = \frac{ m^2 }{ \sqrt{20} }\]\[m^2 = \sqrt{100} = 10\]Solve for m.

Answer 12

oh so you word need to find the sqrt of 10?

Answer 13

*word => need

Answer 14

That's right.

Answer 15

So the answer would have to be\[m=\pm \sqrt{10}\]

Answer 16

OK?

Answer 17

yes thx :)

Answer 18

Great. I have to run along now. Good luck. It's been great working with you!
