Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf 6.71 \ cm}

Explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle. We can use Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

a and b are the lengths of the legs. c is the length of the hypotenuse.

6² + 3² = x²

Evaluate.

36 + 9 = x²

45 = x²

Take the square root of both sides.

√(45) = √(x²)

6.7082039325... = x
