| Let’s stand the radii OK, ОМ and ОН.
The quadrangle BKON is a square, then the segments KB = BH = R = 2 cm.
Let side AB = b, BC = a, AB = c.
Then, by the property of tangents drawn from one point: AK = AM = c – R.
CM = CH = a – R.
Then AC = AM + CM = c – R + a – R = (a + c) – 2 * R.
By condition, (a + c) = 14 cm, then AC = 14 – 2 * 2 = 10 cm.
Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 10 cm.
