Answer:
Use the Pythagorean theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem is where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:
Simplify the equation to get:
Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:
The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.
