Answer:

it's answer is 65 cm.

Explanation:

We know that the largest side is hypotenuse so here

hypotenuse (h) = 97 cm

we can consider 72 cm as base or perpendicular. So I let it as perpendicular (p) = 72 cm

Base (b) = ?

We know by using Pythagoras theorem

b² = h² - p²

b² = 97² - 72²

b² = 9409 - 5184

b² = 4225

b = √4225

b = 65

Therefore the third side is 65 cm long.
