Given a right triangle with:

side length = 3 and side length = 4

Calculate the Hypotenuse:

Pythagorean Theorem Formula

Side12 + Side22 = Hypotenuse2

Solve for Hypotenuse

Take the square root of both sides

Hypotenuse = √Side 12 + Side 22

Plug in Side 1 = 3 and Side 2 = 4

Hypotenuse = √32 + 42

Hypotenuse = √9 + 16

Hypotenuse = √25

Final Answer

Hypotenuse = 5
