Sign In
Begin by multiplying the expressions inside the radicals. To rationalize a monomial denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by a radical that will eliminate the radical in the denominator.
sqrt(30)/10
sqrt(a)*sqrt(b)=sqrt(a* b)
Multiply fractions
Multiply
a/b=a * sqrt(20)/b * sqrt(20)
sqrt(a)* sqrt(a)= a
sqrt(a)*sqrt(b)=sqrt(a* b)

Commutative Property of Multiplication
a* a=a^2
sqrt(a* b)=sqrt(a)*sqrt(b)
sqrt(a^2)=a
Multiply
a/b=.a /2./.b /2.
