You use the Pythagorean theorem, which can only be applied to right triangles:

a2+b2=c2, where a and b are the triangle's legs and c is the triangle's hypotenuse.

Plug the two sides you know into the equation, then solve for the unknown side.

Can a right angled triangle have all equal sides?

No, a right-angled triangle cannot have all equal sides. A triangle with all equal sides is an equilateral triangle, and in such triangles, all angles are equal to 60 degrees, which does not satisfy the condition for a right angle (90 degrees). For a triangle to be right-angled, it must have one angle that is exactly 90 degrees.

Does a right angle triangle have equal sides?

No, all three sides of a right angle triangle cannot be equal. In a right angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle - the hypotenuse - will always be the longest side of the triangle. The remaining two sides may be equal to each other, but they don't have to be.
