Quick, less than a minute, if you recognize that AB is the square root of the sum of the squares of AC and BC.

BC is obviously 2. AC is itself the square root of the sum of the squares of the distances to the vertex between them, 2 and 4.

A. 2√3
B. 3√6
C. √6
D. 3√2
E. 2√6


According to Pythagoras' theorem, AC^2=2^2+4^2=20 is derived.
Suppose AB is x and x^2=2^2+AC^2=24 is derived.
Then, x=√24=2√6.
Thus, E is the answer.
