Answer: 6.79 mm or 6.8 mm rounded to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to help us solve this question. a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

(4.9 mm)² + (4.7 mm)² = c²

24.01 mm² + 22.09 mm² = c²

46.1 mm² = c²

c =
√(46.1) mm

c ≈ 6.789698 ≈ 6.79 mm
