Calculate the square root of 200

Problem

√(,200)

Solution

1. Identify the number inside the radical and look for its largest perfect square factor.

2. Factor the number 200 into a product of a perfect square and another number.

√(,200)=√(,100⋅2)

3. Apply the product property of radicals, which states that √(,a⋅b)=√(,a)⋅√(,b)

√(,100⋅2)=√(,100)⋅√(,2)

4. Simplify the square root of the perfect square.

√(,100)=10

5. Combine the results to write the expression in simplest radical form.

10⋅√(,2)=10√(,2)
