8 units If the area of the squares are 32 units^2, we have that: Area = Side * Side Side^2 = 32 Side = sqrt(32) = 5.657 units So as the squares are adjacent to two sides of the triangle, we have that the triangle has two sides of 5.657 units As it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagoras' theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 c^2 = 5.657^2 + 5.657^2 c^2 = 64 c = 8 units
