Your question should be more clearly stated.
I assume you mean a "Right triangle" and you are looking for the hypotenuse. If so, then you simply need to take the square root of 25/100.
If h is the hypotenuse and a, b are the other two sides:
+h%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+
+h+=+sqrt%28a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2%29+
