Pretend this is a triangle you know what two of the sides are and you need to find the longest side or the hypotenuse. We can find thiss using the Pythagorean theorem which is
A squared plus B squared equals C squared
With each letter being a variable of one of the sides. C is the hypotenuse so plug in your values and solve for C.

Doing this, the answer is 34
