Answer : would be 5

Because a triangle that has a sequence of the number 3 & 4, or 3 & 5, or 4 & 5 will always consider of the number 3,4 and 5.

Also if te triangle did consist of different numbers the Pythagorean theorem ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ) can be use.

So in this case it’ll be 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

25 = c^ 2

Then we square root both sides and the answe will be : 5 = c

Answer:

5

Explanation:

you need to use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

a&b=sides

c=hypotonuse

plug the side values into the equation

4^2+3^2=c^2

16+9=c^2

25=c^2

you have to square root 25 to find c itself

c=5
