Correct Answer: 17 Units


Solution : Dimension of triangle = 16, 30, 34 units
In triangle ABC,
$\because$ 34 2 = 16 2 + 30 2
This means it is a Pythagorean triplet and the triangle ABC is a right-angle triangle.
$\therefore$ Radius of circle which circumscribes the triangle ABC= $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{2}$ = $\frac{34}{2}$ = 17 units.
Hence, the correct answer is 17 Units.
