588\times 48=4\times 10h^{2}
Multiply both sides by 48.
28224=4\times 10h^{2}
Multiply 588 and 48 to get 28224.
28224=40h^{2}
Multiply 4 and 10 to get 40.
40h^{2}=28224
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
h^{2}=\frac{28224}{40}
Divide both sides by 40.
h^{2}=\frac{3528}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{28224}{40} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.
h=\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5} h=-\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
588\times 48=4\times 10h^{2}
Multiply both sides by 48.
28224=4\times 10h^{2}
Multiply 588 and 48 to get 28224.
28224=40h^{2}
Multiply 4 and 10 to get 40.
40h^{2}=28224
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
40h^{2}-28224=0
Subtract 28224 from both sides.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 40\left(-28224\right)}}{2\times 40}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 40 for a, 0 for b, and -28224 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 40\left(-28224\right)}}{2\times 40}
Square 0.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{-160\left(-28224\right)}}{2\times 40}
Multiply -4 times 40.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{4515840}}{2\times 40}
Multiply -160 times -28224.
h=\frac{0±672\sqrt{10}}{2\times 40}
Take the square root of 4515840.
h=\frac{0±672\sqrt{10}}{80}
Multiply 2 times 40.
h=\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5}
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±672\sqrt{10}}{80} when ± is plus.
h=-\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5}
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±672\sqrt{10}}{80} when ± is minus.
h=\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5} h=-\frac{42\sqrt{10}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
