Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the right trianglea are not given. The general explanation is as follows.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

a² = b² + c²

Where:

a => hypotenuse

Assume that the opposite and the adjacent sides are given as 3 and 4, respectively.

The hypotension becomes

a² = 3² + 4²

a² = 9 + 16.

a² = 25

Take square roots.

a = 5

If any of the other side lengths is missing; you make that side the subject and then solve.
