Hey, so we will use the formula - A squared + B squared = C squared.

~ So we already have 7 cm and 5 cm down. We can just substitute it in our formula.

~ So for now, it’s, 7+5= C, but we need to square these numbers. So it now becomes 49+25=C squared

~ So 49+25= 74

~ So C=74

~ Now we just need to find the square root of 74

~ And that gives you around 8.6 as an answer.


Hope this explanation will help you in the future :), have a great day

a2 + b2 = c2

7^2 + 5^2 = c2

49 + 25 = c2

74 = c2

square root of 74 = c2

8.602325267 = c

The length of the hypotenuse is around 8.6 cm.
