  1. Given : The geometric mean of two surds is 5+ 3√3. one of the surds is 7 + 4√3,

    To find : the square root of the other surd

    O a. √3-1

    O b.4-2√3

    O 0.4 +2√3

    O d. √3+ 1​

    Solution:

    Let say other surd is X

    Then X * ( 7 + 4√3) = ( 5 + 3√3)²

    => X = ( 5 + 3√3)² / ( 7 + 4√3)

    Rationalizing denominator

    => X = ( 5 + 3√3)²( 7 -4√3) / ( 7 + 4√3)( 7 – 4√3)

    ( 7 + 4√3)( 7 – 4√3) = 49 – 48 = 1

    => X = ( 5 + 3√3)²( 7 -4√3)

    => X = ( 52 + 30√3) ( 7 -4√3)

    => X = 364 – 208√3 + 210√3 – 360

    => X = 4 + 2√3

    => X = 3 + 1 + 2√3

    => X = (√3)² + 1² + 2√3

    => X = (√3 + 1)²

    => √X = √3 + 1

    square root of the other surd = √3 + 1
