Answer:

Length of the hypotenuse = 3√5 units

Explanation:

Given:

Right triangle sides

a = 3

b = 6

Find:

Length of the hypotenuse

Computation:

Length of the hypotenuse = √a² + b²

Length of the hypotenuse = √3² + 6²

Length of the hypotenuse = √9 + 36

Length of the hypotenuse = √45

Length of the hypotenuse = 3√5 units
