From the question,
We are given the triangle
We are to find the hypotenuse
This will be done using the Pythagorean theorem
Given as
[tex](hyp)^2=(opp)^2+(adj)^2[/tex]
Where,
Hypotenuse = hyp
Opposite = opp
Adjacent = adj
Also
Opposite = 3cm
Adjacent = 4cm
This implies
[tex](\text{hyp)}^2=3^2+4^2[/tex]
Simplifying this we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} (\text{hyp)}^2=9+16 \\ (\text{hyp)}^2=25 \\ \text{hyp}=\sqrt[]{25} \\ \text{hyp }=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the hypotenuse is 5 cm
