Answer:

If you have both legs, then you can use the PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM to find the value of the hypotenuse. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ( a= leg, b = leg, c = hypotenuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do not have a leg value, but you do have an angle measure, then you can use Sine or Cosine to find the hypotenuse. Sin = opposite/hypotenuse and Cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.

Let me know if you need further explaination!
