Use Pythagoras to find the measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the measures of the two legs.
For your problem:
^2\ +\ (48)^2})
The arithmetic, as usual, is yours to do. Of course, you could also recognize that 20 is 5 times 4 and 48 is 12 times 4, and recall that 5, 12, and 13 is a Pythagorean Triple hence the hypotenuse of your triangle must be 13 times 4.

A^2+B^2=C^2
20^2+48^2=C^2
400+2,304=C^2
2,704=C^2
C=SQRT2.704
C=52 INCHES ANS. FOR THE LENGTH OF SIDE C.
