Respuesta :

12 inches is the measure of the 3 one

Answer:

Assuming the two sides are not the hypotenuse, then the third side would equal 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the formula [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

c is the hypotenuse while a and b are the sides.

[tex]3^{2} + 4^{2} = c^{2} \\[/tex]

so that simplifies to 9 + 16 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

25=[tex]c^{2} \\[/tex]

in order to get just c alone, we must square both sides

[tex]\sqrt{25} =  \sqrt{c}^{2}[/tex]

this cancels out on the right side and leaves you with 5 on the left

therefore c=5
