A landscape architect is calculating the total length of two decorative stone borders for a garden path. The first border is \sqrt{20} meters long and the second is 3\sqrt{5} meters long. Which of the following represents the total length of the borders in simplified radical form?

A machinist is calculating the total length of two metal rods for a precision assembly. One rod measures $\sqrt{20}$ centimeters and the other measures $3\sqrt{5}$ centimeters. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to simplify and combine these measurements into the final sum of $5\sqrt{5}$ centimeters.

A construction foreman is calculating the total length of two support beams. Beam A is $\sqrt{20}$ feet long and Beam B is $3\sqrt{5}$ feet long. The total simplified length of both beams is ____ feet.

A plumbing contractor is calculating the total length of two copper pipes. One pipe is $\sqrt{20}$ inches long and the other is $3\sqrt{5}$ inches long. True or False: These two measurements can be combined into a single total of $5\sqrt{5}$ inches because $\sqrt{20}$ is equivalent to $2\sqrt{5}$.

A civil engineering technician is verifying structural measurements for a bridge reinforcement plan. The plan requires combining two lengths: $\sqrt{20}$ decimeters and $3\sqrt{5}$ decimeters. To ensure the final report is accurate, match each component of the simplification process with its corresponding value or role.

A maintenance technician is measuring two lengths of copper tubing for a repair. The first length is $\sqrt{20}$ inches and the second length is $3\sqrt{5}$ inches. To simplify the first measurement so it can be added to the second, which perfect square factor of 20 must the technician recall?

A specialized technician is combining two lengths of material, $\sqrt{20}$ centimeters and $3\sqrt{5}$ centimeters, for a structural repair. To add these together as 'like radicals,' the technician must simplify $\sqrt{20}$ so that it has the same radicand as the second term. Which value represents this common radicand?

An electrical contractor needs to combine two wire lengths represented by the expression $\sqrt{20} + 3\sqrt{5}$. Arrange the steps required to recall the simplification procedure and combine these measurements into a single radical expression in the correct order.
