Answer:

4.2

Explanation:

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Opposite = 3

Adjacent = 3

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse ² = 3² + 3²

Hypotenuse ² = 9 + 9

Hypotenuse ² = 18

Find the square root of both sides

√Hypotenuse² = √18

Hypotenuse = √18

Hypotenuse = 4.2426406871192

Hypotenuse = 4.2 to the nearest tenth
