See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can rewrite this expression as:

sqrt(160) => sqrt(16 * 10)1601610

Now, we can use this rule for radicals to simplify the expression:

sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b))ab=ab

sqrt(color(red)(16) * color(blue)(10)) => sqrt(color(red)(16)) * sqrt(color(blue)(10)) => 4sqrt(10)16101610410
