Evaluate sqrt(4^2/20 + 3^2/25)

\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5}

Step by step

  1. \sqrt{3^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{25} + 4^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{20}} = \sqrt{3^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{25} + 16 \cdot \frac{1}{20}}

    Power: 4^2 = 16.

  2. \sqrt{3^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{25} + 16 \cdot \frac{1}{20}} = \sqrt{3^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{25} + \frac{4}{5}}

    Multiply: 16(1/20) = 4/5.

  3. \sqrt{3^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{25} + \frac{4}{5}} = \sqrt{9 \cdot \frac{1}{25} + \frac{4}{5}}

    Power: 3^2 = 9.

  4. \sqrt{9 \cdot \frac{1}{25} + \frac{4}{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} + \frac{4}{5}}

    Multiply: 9(1/25) = 9/25.

  5. \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} + \frac{4}{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} + \frac{20}{25}}

    Rewrite every fraction over the common denominator 25.

  6. \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} + \frac{20}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{29}{25}}

    Add: 9/25 + 20/25 = 29/25.
