Answer:

5 meters

Explanation:

The values given, 3 and 4, are the legs a and b. The hypotenuse is the third and longest side, c.

To find the length of the hypotenuse, use the formula a² + b² = c².

Substitute our values for a and b and solve.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

√25 = √c²

5 = c

The hypotenuse is 5 meters long.

I hope this helps <3
