Radical(26)/Radical(5)

5.2 is the same as 52/10. So, to find the square root of this number, simplify the numerator and the denominator. The numerator becomes (radical(26)*radical(2))

and the denominator becomes (radical(5)*radical(2)). The radical(2)'s cancel out and you're left with radical(26)/radical(5).

Go 13 units of distance in any direction. Turn 90 degrees clockwise and go 13 units of distance in a straight line. Turn 90 degrees clockwise and go 13 units of distance in a straight line. Turn 90 degrees clockwise and go 13 units of distance in a straight line.

You will have travelled along a square route whose total distance is 52 units. Alternatively you could have turned counter clockwise each time.
