If the length of the other sides are b=1 and c=√ 5
what is the length of the third side?
Please help, this makes no sence to me!
THANK YOU!

Is the hypotenuse b, c, or the third side?
Assuming the third side is the hypotenuse,
let x = third side's length.
b^2 + c^2 = x^2
1^2 + (√5)^2 = x^2
1 + 5 = x^2
x = √6
