1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $\frac{36.6 - 21.5382}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$.
2. The formula used here is a simple division of the difference of two numbers by a fraction.
3. First, calculate the numerator: $36.6 - 21.5382 = 15.0618$.
4. The denominator is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$. Recall that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
5. So, the expression becomes:
$$\frac{15.0618}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 15.0618 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}$$
6. Simplify the multiplication:
$$15.0618 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = 15.0618 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = 15.0618 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}$$
7. Multiply numerator and denominator inside the fraction by $\sqrt{2}$ to rationalize:
$$\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2}$$
8. So the expression simplifies to:
$$15.0618 \times \sqrt{2}$$
9. Using $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.4142$, calculate:
$$15.0618 \times 1.4142 \approx 21.3$$
10. Therefore, the value of the expression is approximately $21.3$.
