Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


(√(90) )/(√(20)) = \sqrt(90)/(20) = \sqrt{(9)/(2)} = (3)/(√(2) )

Now for some explanations.

  • sqrt(90)/sqrt(20) can be put under 1 square root sign.
  • When you do that, 10 divides into both numerator and denominator.
  • The sqrt(9) = 3
  • The square root of 2 cannot be reduced, but you can rationalize it by multiplying top and bottom by sqrt(2)

3 sqrt(2)

======

sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)

Answer

3 * sqrt(2)
