To understand why \( 5 \sqrt{2} \) is equivalent to \( \sqrt{50} \), we can simplify \( \sqrt{50} \) step by step.

1. **Factor the number under the square root**:
- \( 50 \) can be factored into \( 25 \times 2 \).
- We know that \( 25 \) is a perfect square.

2. **Rewrite the square root**:
- \( \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} \).

3. **Use the property of square roots**:
- The property states that \( \sqrt{a \times b} = \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} \).
- Applying this:
- \( \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{2} \).

4. **Simplify the perfect square**:
- Since \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \), we can substitute that back in:
- \( \sqrt{50} = 5 \times \sqrt{2} \).

Therefore, \( \sqrt{50} \) simplifies to \( 5 \sqrt{2} \). Hence, the expression that is equivalent to \( \sqrt{50} \) is \( 5 \sqrt{2} \).

To explain why 5 square root of 2 is equivalent to the square root of 50:

First, we can simplify the square root of 50.

1. Factor 50:
50 can be broken down into 25 times 2.

2. Rewrite the square root:
The square root of 50 can be written as the square root of 25 times the square root of 2.

3. Simplify:
Since the square root of 25 is 5, we write:
The square root of 50 equals 5 times the square root of 2.

So, the square root of 50 simplifies to 5 square root of 2. That's why 5 square root of 2 is the correct equivalent expression.
