If two sides of a triangle are \(\sqrt{3}-2\) and \(\sqrt{3}+2\) units and their included angle is \(60^{\circ}\), then the third side of the triangle is

  1. A 15 units
  2. B \(\sqrt{15}-2\) units
  3. C \(\sqrt{15}+2\) units
  4. D \(\sqrt{15}\) units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{15}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C\) \(c^2 = (\sqrt{3}-2)^2 + (\sqrt{3}+2)^2 - 2(\sqrt{3}-2)(\sqrt{3}+2) \cos 60^{\circ}\)
