Answer:
Pythagorean Theorem
A Right Angled Triangle has 3 sides, the longest side is known as The Hypotenuse and the other two are referred to as The Legs
When the length of the Hypotenuse is missing, we can find it by using the following formula
a² + b² = c²
Where,
a is Leg 1
b is Leg 2
c is Hypotenuse
Example
Let a be 3cm
b be 4cm
And, we need to find c
3² + 4² = c²
9cm + 16cm = c²
25cm = c²
√25cm = c
5cm = c
So, Hypotenuse (c) in the following triangle is 5cm
