OG problem 5.5.29
I'm able to do this problem and get the correct answer, but it seems that there is a lot of calculation and so I'm wondering if there is a trick to getting it done faster.
The method I used was to multiply and then add each pair of numbers under the square root, and separate all the square factors. Then I take the square root of those squares and multiply those remaining numbers together for the answer.
It works, but it seems like it takes a long time to get it done. Am I using the most efficient way of solving this problem?
