nnesha · Answer

$$\huge\rm a^2 + b^2 =c^2$$
replace variables by their values and solve :-)
let me know what you get or if you have any question

mrnood · Answer

this is the basic equation of the Pythagoras theorem

You have been told the length of the 2 short sides, (normally denoted a & b)

the eqation for the hypotenuse (normally denoted c) is c^2 = a^2 + b^2

so just put in the numbers fro a & b , and solve the equation to get c
