Question 425637: Find the perimeter of a lot with sides measuring 2 radical sign 8, 5 radical sign 18, 3 radical sign 50 and 5 radical sign 75 yards.
Have answer, but it doesnt show the step by step procedure for how the book arrived at the following answer: 34 radical sign 2 + 25 radical sign 3.
Thanks

Just add the side lengths. You will have to simplify the radicals though:

(I just factored out the largest square divisor out of each radical)

Collect like terms to obtain the perimeter, 34sqrt%282%29+%2B+25sqrt%283%29.
