the answer is #6sqrt(5)#

Explanation:

to solve this, you'll have to find what two numbers multiply to give you #180# and you simpler the numbers, the easier it will be to solve. so I chose #90,2#. you can't do anything with #2# but with #90#, you can do #30*3# now #30# which will be #10*3# now #10# which will be #5,2# now you look and see which pairs you have. so you have a pair of #2# and a pair of #3#
so you have to multiply it. so you get #6# but you still have #5# left over and since he doesn't have a partner, he stays home #sqrt(5)#
