The pythagorean theorem tell us:


\text{hyppotenuse}^2=\text{leg1}^2_{}+\text{leg2}^2

The legs in this case are:

leg1 = 63mm

leg2 = 16mm

Thus:


c^2=(63mm)^2+(16mm)^2

And now we can solve:


\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{(63mm)^2+(16mm)^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{3969mm^2+256mm^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{4225mm^2} \\ c=65mm \end{gathered}

The lenght of the hyppotenuse is 65mm
