Select the correct answer.

What is this expression in simplified form?

[tex]\[ (\sqrt{22})(5 \sqrt{2}) \][/tex]

A. [tex]\(10 \sqrt{11}\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(12 \sqrt{11}\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(20 \sqrt{11}\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(24 \sqrt{11}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To simplify the expression [tex]\(( \sqrt{22} )( 5 \sqrt{2} )\)[/tex], let's follow the steps systematically:

1. Rewrite the expression:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{22} \cdot 5 \sqrt{2} \][/tex]

2. Combine the square roots:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{22} \cdot 5 \sqrt{2} = 5 \cdot (\sqrt{22} \cdot \sqrt{2}) \][/tex]

3. Multiply the square roots:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{22} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{22 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{44} \][/tex]

4. Rewrite the expression with the simplified square root:
[tex]\[ 5 \cdot \sqrt{44} \][/tex]

5. Further simplify [tex]\(\sqrt{44}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{44} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 11} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{11} = 2 \sqrt{11} \][/tex]

6. Substitute [tex]\(\sqrt{44}\)[/tex] with its simplified form:
[tex]\[ 5 \cdot 2 \sqrt{11} \][/tex]

7. Multiply the constants:
[tex]\[ 5 \cdot 2 \sqrt{11} = 10 \sqrt{11} \][/tex]

Thus, the simplified form of [tex]\(( \sqrt{22} )( 5 \sqrt{2} )\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{10 \sqrt{11}} \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \text{A. } 10 \sqrt{11} \][/tex]
