Which is the biggest?

\(\begin{align} a & =\sqrt{2018}+\sqrt{2016} \\ b & =\sqrt{2019}+\sqrt{2015} \\ c & =\sqrt{2020}+\sqrt{2014} \end{align}\)

sqrt(2018)+sqrt(2016 = 89.8220435317197012

sqrt(2019)+sqrt(2015) = 89.8220352522488239

sqrt(2020)+sqrt(2014) = 89.8220214531222153      Which is biggest ?

EP provided a clear, easy to comprehend answer. 

Just for grins, here's your list extended the other direction. 

 

sqrt(2017) + sqrt(2017) = 89.82204629154248 ... see the trend?
