please provide us with more details.. u can use Pythagoras formula..
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the Hypotenuse (the longest one)..
e.g.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
169 = c^2
c^2 = 169
c = 13

but If u want to find Adjacent or opposite site then the formula is
a^2 = b^2 - C^2
Good luck and hope u understand what I meant..

Using pythagorean, or a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2, we get: 4%5E2+%2B+3%5E2+=+c%5E2 since A = 4", and B = 3"

16+%2B+9+=+c%5E2

25+=+C%5E2

Therefore, sqrt%2825%29+=+sqrt%28c%5E2%29, and c = highlight_green%285%29
