\frac{a\times 2}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}
Divide a by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} by multiplying a by the reciprocal of \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}}=\frac{2}{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{a\times 2}{\sqrt{2}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{2}.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2}{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}
The square of \sqrt{2} is 2.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2\times 10}{\sqrt{10}}
Divide 2 by \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10} by multiplying 2 by the reciprocal of \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{10}}
Multiply 2 and 10 to get 20.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{20\sqrt{10}}{\left(\sqrt{10}\right)^{2}}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{20}{\sqrt{10}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{10}.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{20\sqrt{10}}{10}
The square of \sqrt{10} is 10.
\frac{a\times 2\sqrt{2}}{2}=2\sqrt{10}
Divide 20\sqrt{10} by 10 to get 2\sqrt{10}.
a\sqrt{2}=2\sqrt{10}
Cancel out 2 and 2.
\sqrt{2}a=2\sqrt{10}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sqrt{2}a}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{2}.
a=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}}
Dividing by \sqrt{2} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{2}.
a=2\sqrt{5}
Divide 2\sqrt{10} by \sqrt{2}.
