Answer:

Explanation:
We have the equation:

we know that:
14*14 = 196
then:
14 = √196

Now, we can rewrite:
50 = 2*25
98 = 2*49
This is because we know that 49 and 25 are perfect squares, then:

Now we can use the common factor √2 and get:

and we know that:
7*7 = 49
5*5 = 25
then:

the value of b is:
b = 12
