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.
