Answer:

5 blocks

Explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for AC

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute values

AC² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

AC =
√(25) = 5
