Answer:

5√2

Explanation:

Hello!

To simplify the radical, we can identify perfect square factors in the radicand or the number inside the square root.

We know that 50 is 25 times 2, so we can expand the radical like this...


  • \sqrt{50

  • √(25*2)

  • √(25) * \sqrt2

Now we can simplify each radical:


  • √(25) * \sqrt2

  • 5\sqrt2

The simplified form is 5√2.
