The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \sqrt{10 + \sqrt{24} + \sqrt{40} + \sqrt{60}} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the terms under the square root We start by rewriting each term in the expression: 1. \( 10 = \sqrt{5^2} + \sqrt{3^2} + \sqrt{2^2} \) 2. \( \sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 6} = 2\sqrt{6} = 2\sqrt{2 \cdot 3} \) 3. \( \sqrt{40} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 10} = 2\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{5 \cdot 2} \) 4. \( \sqrt{60} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 15} = 2\sqrt{15} = 2\sqrt{3 \cdot 5} \) Now, we can express \( \sqrt{24} \), \( \sqrt{40} \), and \( \sqrt{60} \) in terms of their prime factors. ### Step 2: Substitute the rewritten terms Now we can substitute these values back into the original expression: \[ \sqrt{10 + \sqrt{24} + \sqrt{40} + \sqrt{60}} = \sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{10} + 2\sqrt{15}} \] ### Step 3: Combine the terms Next, we can combine these terms under a single square root: \[ = \sqrt{(\sqrt{5})^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2 + 2(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3}) + 2(\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{2}) + 2(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5})} \] ### Step 4: Recognize the perfect square The expression inside the square root can be recognized as a perfect square: \[ = \sqrt{( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^2} \] ### Step 5: Take the square root Taking the square root of both sides gives us: \[ = \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \sqrt{10 + \sqrt{24} + \sqrt{40} + \sqrt{60}} = \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} \]
