Best Answer

The length of the hypotenuse, c, is obtained from Pythagoras's theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 where a and b are the legnths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

Here: a = 4.94 and b = 5.35

c^2 = 4.94^2 + 5.35^2

So c = sqrt(4.94^2 + 5.35^2) or c ≈ 7.2819

A squared plus B squared equals to C squared.

So 4.94*4.94+5.35*5.35=7.281902224007131

just round it off to how many decimals or significant figures you need for your assignment :) Hope you find it useful
