The Pythagorean Theorem, which is the square root of the sum of 2 side measures squared. \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)

 

Fill in the values of the sides and solve to find the side C, or the hypotenuse. Make sure to use a calculator when you square root, because even if it is a long decimal that is the better answer.
