Answer

$\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the given expression, $ \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{2}} ,$ evaluates to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2}} \\\\= \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{4}\cdot2} \\\\= \sqrt{\left( \dfrac{5}{2} \right)^2\cdot2} \\\\= \dfrac{5}{2}\sqrt{2} \\\\= \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2} .\end{array}
