    the third side is √11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    By Pythagoras theorem, we can find the third side

    c^2 = a^2 + b^2

    if a = √2

    b = 3

    then,

    c^2 = a^2 + b^2

    c^2 = (√2) ^2 + (3) ^2

    c^2 = 2+9

    c^2 = 11

    Taking square root on both sides:

    √c^2 = √11

    c = √11

    So, the third side is √11
