Finding the Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle

Easy Geometry And Measurement Triangles

A triangle has one angle that measures 90 degrees, making it a right triangle. The lengths of the two legs of the triangle are 4 cm and 3 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle?

To find the hypotenuse, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs of lengths $a$ and $b$, and hypotenuse $c$, the relationship can be expressed as:

$$ c = ext{sqrt}(a^2 + b^2) $$
