      I like to rationalise denominators this way:
      There’s a \( \sqrt{2}\) in the denominator, so to get rid of that, we need a \( \sqrt{2}\) in the numerator.
      Luckily, \(10\) is made of \( \sqrt{2} \times 5 \sqrt{2}\).
      Cancellong out the two \( \sqrt{2}\)‘s in the numerator and the denominator, we get \(5 \sqrt{2}\).
      🙂
