Answer:

3² = (√2)² + (√7)²

Explanation:

The given sides to us are 3 , √2 and √7. We can check if these are the sides of right angled triangle.

  • For that , we can use Pythagoras Theorem , which is = + .
  • Here 3 is the longest side so , it can be hypotenuse.

=> h² = p² + b²

=> 3² = (√2)² + (√7)²

=> 9 = 2 + 7

=> 9 = 9

  • Hence the ∆ is right angled .

Hence the addition equation is = (2)² + (7)² .
