Answer:

hypotenuse = sqrt(13)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since it is a right triangle

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + 3^2 = c^2

4+9 = c^2

13 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(13) = sqrt(c^2)

sqrt(13) =c

The hypotenuse = sqrt(13)
