This can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem:a^2 + b^2 = c^2Where a and b are the 2 legs and c is the hypotenuse.Plug the values of a and be to get:(5.45)^2 + (3.18)^2 = c^239.8149 = c^2sqrt(39.8149) = sqrt(c^2)6.309905 = c
In Excel, if the two sides of the triangle were in cells A1 and B1, then you could place the formula:
=SQRT(A1^2 +B1 ^2)
In any cell

Formulas relating to right angled triangles are:
Sine = perpendicular divided by hypotenuse
Cosine = base divided by hypotenuse
Tangent = perpendicular divided by base
Sine Tangent and Cosine functions are all available in Excel
