Answer:

5√7

Explanation:

What we want to do is first just put the 175 in a sqrt like this:

√175

Next we do prime factorisation to try and simplify further.

175

/ \

25 7

/ \

5 5

We can figure out that this out √5^2 times 7

we can cancel the sqrt and the squared and simplify to 5√7

So there is your answer, 5√7.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Also for the prime factorisation the formatting may be off, sorry for the inconvenience and have a good day!
