Answer:

c = sqrt(11)

Explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

c^2 = a^2 +b^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

c^2 = 3^2 + (sqrt(2))^2

c^2 = 9 + 2

c^2 =11

Take the square root of each side.

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(11)

c = sqrt(11)
