Question

Simplify, as you were taught. Type the answer. It's just a number. sqrt(180) / sqrt(5) =

Answer 1

Very likely, you were taught that:

sqrt(a) / sqrt(b) = sqrt(a/b)

For example:

sqrt(200) / sqrt(2) = sqrt(200/2) = sqrt(100) = 10

Often, this method uses simpler computations (you might not even need a calculator !).

sqrt(180) / sqrt(5) = sqrt(180/5) = sqrt(36) = 6

Answer 2

√180

First, find the largest factor of 180 that is a perfect square: √(36*5) = 6*√5

Then, you can further simplify by dividing by the bottom
