For a right angled triangle having the lengths of two sides as (2 2 ) and 5, find the length of the third side.
Options
- A(4 2 )
- B( 15 )
- C( 17 )
- D( 13 )
Correct answer
C. ( 17 )
Step-by-step solution
Let the third side of right angled triangle is ' (p ) ', then either (p^2=(2 2 )^2+5^2=8+25 p= 33 ) or (p^2=5^2-(2 2 )^2=25-8 p= 17 ) Hence, option (c) is correct.
