Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(20)
sqrt(4*5)
We know that sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
sqrt(4) sqrt(5)
2 sqrt(5)
We can factor down 20 with it's greatest prime GCF, which is 5. We get a 4. When we factor that down the same way, we get 2. If we repeat that process, we get 5, 2, and 2, which turns into [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex].
