Question 51393: I am having problems solving this problem:
A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90°. In a right triangle, the sides are related by Pythagorean Theorem, where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90° angle). Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides’ measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet.
Thanks for your time!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hypotenuse^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
H^2=9+16
H^2=25
H=5
