Question

Jaclyn estimates that the square root of 50 in the following way: √50 = 2√25 = 2*5 = 10

Answer 1

Answer:

Jacklyn is wrong because

$\sqrt{50} \ne2 \sqrt{25 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that :Jaclyn estimates that the square root of 50 in the following way:

$\sqrt{50} = 2 \sqrt{25}$

$\sqrt{50} = 2 \times 5$

$\sqrt{50} = 10$

Jacklyn is wrong because she made an error at

$\sqrt{50} = 2 \sqrt{25}$

The correct expression is

$\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{2 \times 25}$

This gives:

$\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{ 25} \times \sqrt{2}$

$\sqrt{50} =5 \sqrt{2}$
