Answer:


√(34)

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the missing side of the right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

So, if the two sides given are 5 and 3, and the length of the hypotenuse is represented by "c", then we can write:

c^2 = 5^2 + 3^2

c^2 = 25 + 9

c^2 = 34

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

c = sqrt(34)

Therefore, the length of the third side, the hypotenuse, is
√(34)
