Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

You need to calculate the remaining side.

Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> 5^2 = 4^2 + b^2

b^2 = 25 - 16 = 9

b = √9 = 3

Draw a right triangle with the sides of 3cm and 4cm are perpendicular to form 90 degrees angle. Then connect the ends of 2 lines to form the hypotenuse which will be 5 cm long.
