answer attempt 1 out of 2
leg 1: leg 2: hypotenuse: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the lengths of the legs

By counting the grid - squares, we can see that one leg (vertical) has a length of 2 units and the other leg (horizontal) has a length of 3 units.
Leg 1 = 2
Leg 2 = 3

Step2: Use the Pythagorean theorem

The Pythagorean theorem is \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are the legs of a right - triangle and \(c\) is the hypotenuse. Substituting \(a = 2\) and \(b = 3\) into the formula, we get \(c=\sqrt{2^{2}+3^{2}}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\).

Answer:

Leg 1: 2
Leg 2: 3
Hypotenuse: \(\sqrt{13}\)
