Answer:

AC = 5 cm

Explanation:

STEP 1: Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

STEP 2: Solve the equation for c.

c=√(b^2+a^2)

STEP 3: Substitute the actual values into the equation.

c=√(3^2+4^2)

STEP 4: Raise 3 to the power of 2.

c=√(9+4^2)

STEP 5: Raise 4 to the power of 2.

c=√(9+16)

STEP 6: Add 9 and 16.

c=√(25)

STEP 7: Solve for
√(25) .

c=5 cm
