This question only tests very rudimentary geometry, basically the Pythagorean theorem. GMAT does not treat that as specific geometry knowledge, so a question like this can definitely show up on the actual exam.
P.S. Check these two topics:
While specific geometry knowledge is not tested on GMAT Focus, not everything involving shapes, volumes, or areas requires specialized geometry knowledge. The area of a square or rectangle, the volume of a cube or rectangular solid, and the Pythagorean theorem are not considered specific geometry knowledge by the GMAT and can still be tested. Moreover, a question can involve shapes but test another area, such as combinations or other topics. There are several questions involving these concepts in the GMAT Prep Focus mocks.
The chapter on coordinate geometry, including planes and slopes, is still present in the recent Official Guides. That said, it is tested to a much smaller extent. For example, you might see some questions involving graphs, either in Problem Solving or in Data Insights graph-based questions. However, those usually fall under the functions category rather than pure coordinate geometry, so they typically won’t involve distance calculations, angles, or similar topics.
