The length of the legs is 4cm and 3 cm.

Bypythagoras theorem, the expression to calculate the length of hypotenuse is,


\begin{gathered} x=\sqrt[]{4^2+3^2} \\ x=\sqrt[]{16+9} \\ x=\sqrt[]{25} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

Here, x represents the length of hypotenuse.

Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 5 cm.
