Hypotenuse, so right triangle.
So A^2 + B^2 = C^2
(sqrt5)^2 + 5^2 = 30
(sqrt 30) = 5.47
EDIT - (sqrt 30) is the answer and it is in radical form.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
sqrt(5)^2 + 5^2 = c^2 (hypotenuse^2)
5 + 25 = c^2
c = sqrt(30)
I didn't think to use the pythagorean theorem, thanks!
(I'm actually not sure if I'm supposed to use it to solve these problems, but I'll double check with my teacher tomorrow)
EDIT: ^ I'm a sophomore in Highschool.
