Step 2


\begin{gathered} Leg\text{ 1 = 2} \\ Leg\text{ 2 = 7} \\ Hypotenuse\text{ = ?} \end{gathered}

Step 3


\begin{gathered} Hypotenuse^2\text{ = leg1}^2\text{ + leg2}^2 \\ Hypotenuse^2\text{ = 7}^2\text{ + 2}^2 \\ Hypotenuse^2\text{ = 49 + 4} \\ Hypotenuse^2\text{ = 53} \\ Hypotenuse\text{ = }√(53) \end{gathered}
