$$ \begin{aligned}\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}} \frac{ 2 }{\sqrt{ 5 }} \times \frac{ \color{orangered}{\sqrt{ 5 }} }{ \color{orangered}{\sqrt{ 5 }}} \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\end{aligned} $$ | |
① | Multiply both top and bottom by $ \color{orangered}{ \sqrt{ 5 }}$. |
② | In denominator we have $ \sqrt{ 5 } \cdot \sqrt{ 5 } = 5 $. |
