Question

Find the third side in simplest radical form

Answer 1

Answer:

$2 \sqrt{71} \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a right angled triangle in which third side is the hypotenuse.

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem:

$thid \: side = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} + ( \sqrt{59} )^{2} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{225 + 59} \\ \\ = \sqrt{284} \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times 71 } \\ \\ = 2 \sqrt{71} \: units$
