The answer should be
4.
First, simplify

to 4. Your problem should look like: 4 x 1.
Second, multiply. 4 x 1 = 4 so that is your answer.
Also, to start the equation up, make sure to add in the numbers in replace for the letters. Your problem to start with should look like:

.
So to solve it the equation is a squared plus b squared = c squared. So you square a and b. Then do the square root of that and should get c. C is always the largest side. C is opposite from a 90 degree angle . Hope this helps you answer your question.
