Answer:

6.71 unit

Explanation:

Given that:

Legs of a right angle triangle are 3 and 6

From Pythagoras rule;

Hypotenus = sqrt(Adjacent² + opposite²)

Both legs are adjacent and opposite

Hence,

Hypotenus = sqrt(3² + 6²)

Hypotenus = sqrt(9 + 36)

Hypotenus = sqrt(45)

Hypotenus = 6.708

Hypotenus = 6.71
