  11. \dfrac{2}{5+\sqrt{2}}\cdot \dfrac{5-\sqrt{2}}{5-\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-2\sqrt{2}}{25-2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-2\sqrt{2}}{23}
  12. \dfrac{5}{2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}\cdot \dfrac{2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{10\sqrt{3}+5\sqrt{2}}{4(3)-2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{10\sqrt{3}+5\sqrt{2}}{10}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{2}
  13. \dfrac{3}{4-\sqrt{3}}\cdot \dfrac{4+\sqrt{3}}{4+\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{12+3\sqrt{3}}{16-3}\Rightarrow \dfrac{12+3\sqrt{3}}{13}
  14. \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}-2}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}+2}{\sqrt{2}+2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{4\sqrt{2}+8}{2-4}\Rightarrow \dfrac{4\sqrt{2}+8}{-2}\Rightarrow -2\sqrt{2}-4
  15. \dfrac{4}{3+\sqrt{5}}\cdot \dfrac{3-\sqrt{5}}{3-\sqrt{5}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{12-4\sqrt{5}}{9-5}\Rightarrow \dfrac{12-4\sqrt{5}}{4}\Rightarrow 3-\sqrt{5}
  16. \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}+2\sqrt{3}}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{5}-2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}-2\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\sqrt{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{5-4(3)}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\sqrt{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{-7}
  17. \dfrac{-3+2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+2}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3}-2}{\sqrt{3}-2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{-3\sqrt{3}+6+2(3)-4\sqrt{3}}{3-4}\Rightarrow \dfrac{12-7\sqrt{3}}{-1}\Rightarrow \\
    -12+7\sqrt{3}
  18. \dfrac{4+\sqrt{5}}{2+2\sqrt{5}}\cdot \dfrac{2-2\sqrt{5}}{2-2\sqrt{5}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{8-8\sqrt{5}+2\sqrt{5}-2(5)}{4-4(5)}\Rightarrow \dfrac{-2-6\sqrt{5}}{-16}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+3\sqrt{5}}{8}
  19. \dfrac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{2}}\cdot \dfrac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2-2\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{6}}{1-2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2-2\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{6}}{-1}\Rightarrow \\
    2\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{6}-2
  20. \dfrac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-1}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}+1}\Rightarrow \dfrac{-\sqrt{3}-1+3+\sqrt{3}}{3-1}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{2}\Rightarrow 1
