Answer: 8.9 and 6.7

Explanation:

These are right triangles, so you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs, or shorter sides, of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, or the longest side.

1. 4² + 8² = c²

16 + 64 = c²

80 = c²

c = √80

c = 8.9

2. 6² + 3² = c²

36 + 9 = c²

45 = c²

c = √45

c = 6.7
