Given the dimensions of the triangle:

Opposite = 7cm

Adjacent = 3cm

To find the length of the hypotenuse, let's use Pythagoras theorem:


a^2+b^2=c^2

Now we have:


7^2+3^2=c^2
49+9=c^2
58=c^2

Now take the square root of both sides:


\sqrt{58\text{ }}\text{ = }√(c^2)
\text{ }\sqrt{58\text{ }}\text{ = c}

The length of the hypotenuse is √58 cm
