This question doesn't quite make sense as worded.

I believe what's being asked is "What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle in which the two sides abutting the right angle have lengths or 2 and 7?"

72 + 22 is just a mathematical expression. It doesn't have a hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the equation

A2+B2=C2, where the side of length C is the hypotenuse.

72 + 22 = 49 + 4 = 54 = C2

So, C is the square root of 54

C = sqrt(54) = 7.34846922834... this is the approximate answer.

The exact answer is 3*sqrt(6) (because 32 is 9 and 9*6=54)
