Answer:

4
√(5)

Explanation:

In order to simplify radicals, you need to know your factors (so that way, you can find the closest perfect square to a number).


√(10) *
\sqrt[8}
√(8) =
√(80)

(Because both of the numbers of radicals, you can just multiply the radicands like how you'd normally multiply numbers, and so it's
√(80).)

We can simplify
√(80) by finding the closest square number, which is 16.


√(80)=√(16) * √(5)\\ √(16)=4\\Thus, √(80)=4√(5)
