Answer:

Option 1 is correct that is square root of 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use pythagoras theroem to find the length of hypotenuse

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Here, c is hypotenuse,a is one leg and b is the other leg.

Here, a=b=3

On substituting the values in the formula we get:

$c^2=3^2+3^2=18$

$c=\sqrt{18}$

Hence, Option 1 is correct that is square root of 18.

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + 3^2 = c^2
9 + 9 = c^2
18 = c^2...by taking the sqrt of both sides, this eliminates the ^2
sqrt 18 = c
