One side of the triangle is 2 cm, the other is 3 cm. What is the hypotenuse?

If this triangle has a hypotenuse, then sides 2 and 3 are legs.

Accordingly, the hypotenuse is found by the Pythagorean theorem. According to the Pythagorean theorem, “the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.” So, you need to square 2 and 3 and add them. 2 squared + 3 squared = 13. (4 + 9) This is the square of the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse itself is found using the root. It turns out 3√4

Answer: the hypotenuse of this triangle = 3√4

There is also a more accurate value, according to which, the root of 13 = 3.60.
