It depends on what information you have and how far your mathematics education has advanced.
At its simplest, it would be the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. A mouthful, but suppose the other two sides are of length A and B
the H2 = A2 + B2 so that h = sqrt(A2 + B2).
Some time later, you will learn to calculate the hypotenuse using the sine and cosine functions.

By using trigonometry or using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
It means for any right angle triangle:- sine = opposte/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse tangent = opposite/adjacent
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest of the three sides in the triangle.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle.
