Answer:

c ≈ 5.83095189485

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem $(a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} )$ for these kinds of problems.

So, pretend that line is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. One side would be

3 units long and another would be 5 units long. Let's plug that into the theorem.

3² + 5² = c²

Simplify.

9 + 25 = c²

Add.

34 = c²

And now square root both sides.

√34 = c

c ≈ 5.83095189485
