Question 44694: Is my answer correct?
Find the area of the rectangle L=sqrt3+sqrt5 W=sqrt3+sqrt5 Area=LW
This would give me: sqrt3+sqrt5 multiplied by sqrt3+sqrt5
I would then apply the foil method which gives me:
sqrt9 + sqrt15 +sqrt15 + sqrt25
this equals
3 + sqrt15 + sqrt15 + 5
which gives me
8 + 2sqrt15 as the final answer. Is this correct?
