Answer:

Hypotenuse or
c = 75 in.

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:


a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (We know the length of the legs, or a and b, so we can use the formula to find the length of c, or the hypotenuse)


c^2 = 21^2 + 72^2 (Simplify)


c^2 = 5625 (Take the square root of both sides)


c = 75 in.
