Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have a right triangle, and you know the legs a & b, then you can find the hypotenuse c using the pythagorean theorem
So if a = 3 and b = 8, then becomes . Then you solve for c. Again, this is ONLY if you have a right triangle with c being the hypotenuse.
