`\huge\large \fbox \green{Answer :}`

B. 5sqrt(2)

`\huge\Large \fbox \green{Explanation:}`

We have

• first side of triangle = √34

• second side of triangle = 4

We need to find third side of triangle

• let , the third side of triangle is x

( x)² = (√34 )² + (4)² ....( by Pythagoras Theorem)

x ² = 34 + 16

x ² = 50

x = √50

x = 5 √2

Hence, the third side is 5√2

Answer 2

• B. 5sqrt(2)

Explanation:

• x² = 4² + (√34)²
• x² = 16 + 34
• x² = 50
• x = √50
• x = 5√2
