Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 7.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The labelled diagram of the right triangle is shown below. Each small square represents 1 unit

From the right triangle above,

hypotenuse = h

one leg = 3

other leg = 7

We would apply the Pythagorean theorem which is expressed as

hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2

h^2 = 3^2 + 7^2 = 9 + 49

h^2 = 58

h = √58

h = 7.6

The length of the hypotenuse is 7.6 units
