A garden is √300 feet by √75 feet. What is the area in simplest radical form? (1 point)

1 answer

To find the area of the garden, we need to multiply the two dimensions together:

\[ \text{Area} = \sqrt{300} \times \sqrt{75} \]

Using the property of square roots that \( \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b} \), we can combine the square roots:

\[ \text{Area} = \sqrt{300 \times 75} \]

Now, we can calculate the product inside the square root:

\[ 300 \times 75 = 22500 \]

Next, we need to find the square root of \( 22500 \). We can simplify this step by first factorizing the number:

\[ 22500 = 225 \times 100 \]

Now we can take the square root:

\[ \sqrt{22500} = \sqrt{225 \times 100} = \sqrt{225} \times \sqrt{100} = 15 \times 10 = 150 \]

Thus, the area of the garden in simplest radical form is:

\[ \boxed{150} \]
