Answer:

Hypotenuse=2 units

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle:

The length of the third side of a right angled triangle can be find by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Where,


Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

Perpendicular= 2 units

Base=2 units


Hypotenuse^2=2^2+2^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2=4+4\\\\Hypotenuse^2=4\\\\Hypotenuse=√(4) \\\\Hypotenuse=2

The hypotenuse of the triangle is also equals '2'
