$$\sqrt{\mathrm{c}}\:=\:\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{ab}}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{a}}+\sqrt{\mathrm{b}}}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{c}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{ab}}{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{ab}}} \\ $$

$${if}\:{your}\:{answer}\:{were}\:{true},\:{you}\:{get} \\ $$$${for}\:{a}={b}={R} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{c}=\frac{{R}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${but}\:{this}\:{is}\:{wrong}. \\ $$
