SOLVING

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{A. What is Asked}}$

How to find the hyp. of a triangle?

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}$

Using Pythagoras' Theorem!

"The sum of the squares of two sides, or legs, of a right triangle is equal to the square of the longest side, called the hypotenuse."

Thus,

$\bf{a^2+b^2=c^2}$

$\cline{1-2}$

$\bf{Result:}$

$\bf{=a^2+b^2=c^2}$

$\LARGE\boxed{\bf{aesthetic\\ot1\theta\ell}}$

To find the hypotenuse of the triangle
you use the length of the legs
Plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem

so
a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)

is one of the legs

and

b^(2)

is the other leg

then

c^(2)

is the hypothenuse
