Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:08 Let's solve this problem together.
00:11 First, we break down one hundred into ten times ten, which is ten squared.
00:17 Next, break down twenty-five into five times five, that's five squared.
00:23 Remember, the square root of a squared number cancels the square. Now, let's multiply.
00:29 And there you have it, that's our solution!

Step-by-Step Solution

We can simplify the expression without using the laws of exponents, because the expression has known square roots, so let's simplify the expression and then perform the multiplication:

10025=105=50 \sqrt{100}\cdot\sqrt{25}=\\ 10\cdot5=\\ \boxed{50} Therefore, the correct answer is answer D.

Answer

50 50
