Answer:

7.62

Explanation:

The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

If we input the number 3 and 7 into the equation, we get 3^2 + 7^2 = c^2

3^2 is 9, and 7^2 is 49, and 49 + 9 is 58

The square root of 58 is 7.62

Sorry that I'm late, I hope this can help someone in the future!
