Procedural Documentation for Radical Distribution

In a technical apprenticeship program for industrial design, you are asked to document the standard procedures for simplifying exact measurements on material specification sheets. Using the expression 2(4βˆ’10)\sqrt{2}(4 - \sqrt{10}) as an example, write a brief instructional note describing the step-by-step mathematical process required to simplify it. Your response should specifically identify the mathematical property used to remove the parentheses, state the rule used to multiply the two square roots together, and explain how to simplify the resulting radical product to reach the final answer of 42βˆ’254\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{5}.
